Israel refuses entry of medical teams to vaccinate Gaza children against polio

GAZA: Israeli occupation forces refused on Thursday to coordinate the entry of medical teams from the emergency polio vaccination campaign to areas east of Salah al-Din Street, south of the Gaza Strip.

WAFA correspondent said that the campaign was scheduled to launch today to Khan Yunis Governorate and areas south of the Strip, where a large percentage of the targeted group of children are located, but the occupation forces refused to coordinate the entry of the campaign teams to areas south of the Strip.

Yesterday, the vaccination campaign completed its first phase, which included the central governorate in the Gaza Strip, during which about 190,000 children were vaccinated with the first dose of the vaccine.
