UNICEF: Gaza fighting pauses have been agreed to finish polio vaccinations
Humanitarian pauses have been agreed to, allowing a second round of polio vaccinations targeting 590,000 children under the age of 10 to start in the Gaza Strip on October 14, the head of the UN children’s agency UNICEF says.
“Area-specific humanitarian pauses have been agreed. It is critical that these pauses are respected by all parties. Without them, it is impossible to vaccinate the children,” UNICEF Executive Director Catherine Russell says in a statement.
Israel has yet to comment on the announcement.
