Israeli officials have agreed to a three-day pause in central Gaza starting Sept. 1, the day the UN will begin its inoculation campaign in Gaza, Rik Peeperkorn, who oversees Gaza operations for the World Health Organization told reporters Thursday.
That should be followed by a three-day pause in the south of Gaza and then another in the north, he said. The truce will cover only limited hours, from 6 a.m. local time into the afternoon.
Humanitarian groups have been working to start inoculations after traces of a polio virus variant were found in local water sources last month. A 10-month-old baby was diagnosed with the paralyzing disease last week in Gaza, which the WHO said has been polio-free for at least 25 years.
