About 94,000 children in Gaza City received a second dose of polio vaccine this weekend in an effort that was delayed by intense Israeli bombardment and mass evacuation orders in northern Gaza, the Gazan health ministry said. The campaign is scheduled to continue through today.
The first round of vaccinations, in September, covered all of northern Gaza.
Since then, the Israeli military has launched an intense offensive in the area against what it has said is a resurgence of Hamas.
