The UN said it has accomplished its mission to vaccinate children in central Gaza against the poliovirus, with its teams preparing to head south for the second leg of the first round of doses starting tomorrow. At least 187,000 children were vaccinated in central Gaza during the first three days of the campaign, surpassing the goal of 156,500 for the area, the World Health Organisation said on Wednesday. Three UN agencies and Gaza’s Ministry of Health are working together to inoculate 640,000 children under 10 in all of Gaza after a baby contracted the disease.
