STORYLINE:
The Palestinian Health Ministry on Tuesday was vaccinating children against polio in the Jabaliya Refugee Camp in northern Gaza Strip.
The campaign was launched after Gaza had its first reported polio case in 25 years — a 10-month-old boy, now paralyzed in the leg.
In recent days, the U.N. children’s agency said a polio vaccination campaign in Gaza reached 189,000 children, surpassing its target and providing a “rare bright spot” in nearly 11 months of war.
U.N. agencies now hope to expand the campaign to the harder-hit north and south of the territory.
They hope to vaccinate a total of 640,000 children.
