Tens of thousands of children have received a second dose of the vaccine after the start of the new polio vaccination round in the northern part of the Gaza Strip. More than 58,600 children under the age of 10 were vaccinated against polio on Saturday,

The third and final phase of polio vaccinations is underway in the northern Gaza strip after being postponed due to a lack of access and safety concerns, UNICEF announced on Friday.

An attack on a primary health care center in northern Gaza has injured six people, including four children, according to the World Health Organization (WHO) as the third phase of a polio vaccination campaign resumed after a two-week delay due to security concerns.
