Relative calm reigns in Gaza, thanks to a large vaccination campaign against polio. “Humanitarian pauses” have been observed since Sunday, September 1, between 6 a.m. and 2 p.m. The objective: to allow the vaccination of 640,000 Gazan children under the age of ten. This comes after the appearance of a case of polio in the Palestinian enclave at war, a first in 25 years. Israel considers prevention against this disease important, particularly in order to avoid its spread to its own territory.
