Second round of Gaza polio vaccine campaign in Deir el-Balah

The director of a health center in Deir el-Balah has linked the spread of polio among children to "widespread sewage and destroyed infrastructure." This statement comes as children receive their second dose of polio vaccines as part of a comprehensive vaccination campaign.

The initiative aims to fully vaccinate over 640,000 children in the Gaza Strip, addressing the urgent public health crisis amid challenging conditions. Health officials are working to combat the disease and improve overall health outcomes in the region.
