4:38Now PlayingGaza has started vaccinating children against polio a day before the expected start of a massive vaccine campaign. This comes after Gaza recorded its first case of polio in over two decades.
A hospital in Khan Younis began administering the first of the two-dose vaccine even though the World Health Organization's campaign OFFICIALLY starts on Sunday. The WHO plans to administer the vaccine to more than 600,000 children. The war has disrupted routine vaccinations and destroyed medical facilities, allowing the return of the highly infectious and deadly disease. We spoke to Sam Rose, currently in Gaza with the agency for Palestinian refugees, known as UNRWA.
