Israel has agreed to a series of “humanitarian pauses” in Gaza to allow for the vaccination of children against polio, the World Health Organisation has said.
The campaign will aim to vaccinate around 640,000 children across the Gaza strip. It will be rolled out in three separate stages, across the central, southern and northern parts of the strip. During each stage, fighting will pause for three consecutive days between 06:00 and 15:00 local time.
The agreement comes days after UN officials said a 10-month-old baby had been partially paralysed after contracting Gaza’s first case of polio for 25 years.
The campaign will be administered by Palestinian health ministry in Gaza in collaboration with the World Health Organisation and UNICEF.
The WHO is aiming to achieve 90% vaccine coverage across the strip, the level needed to stop transmission of the virus within Gaza.
Polio is highly infectious and is most often spread through sewage and contaminated water. It can cause disfigurement and paralysis and can be fatal.

imagine not figuring it out by now. i mean how DUMB do you have to be. hamas works with i…. and vacci… are poi..n done and done
I don't understsnd Why palestinians are trusting this vaccination.. their biggest enemy is making a fire pause so they can vaccine their children..
I don't want to know what is inside this vaccination.. if the isrealis stop fighting because of this reason..
If Israel is allowing this, 100% this is a different weapon.
Wouldn’t touch any of those. Those Zionists are heartless. They even kill their own?!
So why ain’t they vaccinating Israel is the question people need to be asking
Biological warfare
Den of Vipers!!!

Bulshitting Broadcasting Corruption
Bulshitting Broadcasting Corruption.
Unreal feeling seeing comments being AGAINST polio vaccines. What is wrong with you people?
1:17 Anyone that understand Massonic Vatican Symbolism understands what Nike represents. Saturn, Cronos. They are telling you. We control time. This is all staged. All of this is fake and staged.
After the way the Israeli government has treated Palestinian children so far, whack-cines seem like they're par for the course.
Big Pharma/NGO Mega-FLEX! On the scale of The WW2 ceasefire in order to eradicate the wolves cause they were really ruining the otherwise pleasant war vibes:-) 'World leaders' have been powerless to stop the decimation…BUT the pharma algorithym pinpoints Gaza being flush w 'humanitarian' funds and unparalleled global coverage so 'THEY' Make a few calls saying "Hey, pause this thing for a minute, we'll go in and get OUR money quick (meanwhile receiving global coverage pushing narrative we act of goodwill and our products divine)… then go back to whatever it was you were doing."
Kinda shatters any two party illusion, and gives some insight towards the "Who are the THEY?" Eternal question, dont'ya think?
The real crime here, is why did the world ever stop vaccinating against this dreadful disease, and create a world with zero immunity. The Sabin vaccine was cheap, effective, had no side effects and was easy to administer with a sugar cube in the mouth. Another arrogant example of believing man was more powerful than nature.
Where is muslim countrys😢😢

I'm celebrating a $37k stock portfolio today. started this journey with 6k. I have invested on time and also with the right terms now I have time for my family and the life ahead of me
Grey Aliens are real. 👽
I had polio as a child. It was a mild case, but even today I feel the effects. Adults can get it too. An American President had it. His name was Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
They are allowing a cease fire for 3 days in Gaza so they can concentrate on the west bank
You 'll see .
IF their hospitals weren't demolished then these children may have had a chance in the first place .
Gaza vaccination is a strategy from UN and WHO to recharge Hamas. As long as Palestines defines peace as absence of Israel, and Israel defines peace as absence of war there will be absence of peace.
Israel allows children to be vaccinated then they blow them to crap the next day thanks Netanyahu we will see you in the world court charged with mass murder just like your friend Hitler.
The only terrorists in this one sided war are Netanyahu and the IDF! Gaza belongs to Palestine not Israel's illegal settlers!🇵🇸
Israel realise this pandemic could affect themselves .Its not through kindness
This is beyond sickening. Israel is pure evil and its support from the west just makes it even worse. When will this genocide be over. The ICJ needs to hurry up and the good world leaders need to take more action.
We won’t forget.
One family 11 children’s lol . 😅
