A campaign to vaccinate a final 200,000 children in north Gaza against polio began on Tuesday.
GENEVA - A campaign to vaccinate a final 200,000 children in north Gaza against polio began on Tuesday although health and aid officials said the operation was complicated by access restrictions, evacuation orders and shortages of fuel.
Medical staff had started administering vaccines in the north despite a dire need for fuel, among other challenges, said Dr Moussa Abed of the primary care unit in Gaza's health ministry. "The centralisation of services in the south makes it extremely difficult for us to get fuel, to get access to vaccinations, and to all other logistics," Mahmoud Shalabi of Medical Aid for Palestinians, a UK-based charity, told Reuters via a spokesperson.The campaign to vaccinate some 640,000 children in Gaza began on Sep 1, following confirmation by the WHO last month that a baby had been partially paralysed by the type 2 polio virus, the first such case in the territory in 25 years.
