WHO says it’s ahead of polio vaccination targets for Gaza children
The World Health Organization in Gaza says it is ahead of its targets for polio vaccinations in Gaza on day three of the mass campaign.
Rik Peeperkorn, WHO representative for the West Bank and Gaza, tells reporters that it has vaccinated over 161,000 children under 10 in the central Strip in the first two days of its campaign versus a projected 150,000.
“Up until now, things are going well,” he says. “These humanitarian pauses, up until now they work. We still have 10 days to go.”
