Children in Khan Yunis tilted their heads back, mouths open, as they received oral drops.
KHAN YUNIS – Children in Khan Yunis tilted their heads back, mouths open, as they received oral drops during the second phase of a polio vaccination campaign in Gaza, which began on Thursday.
At tent camps for the displaced, schools-turned-shelters and health centres, parents brought babies, infants and teenagers for vaccines provided by UN agencies. Gazans said they feared the spread of diseases due to the overcrowded and unsanitary conditions in the camps and shelters. Raafat Tuman, 46, brought his two-year-old son Adam to Khan Yunis's Nasser hospital after learning of the campaign on social media.'AN HOUR WITHOUT A BOMB'
So far, the vaccination drive was going as planned, said Majdi Dahir, Gaza health ministry technical director for the polio campaign.
