A polio vaccination campaign in central Gaza has exceeded targets set by UN agencies as it entered its third day on Tuesday, with the World Health Organisation saying more than 160,000 children under 10 had been reached. The UN-led initiative aims to inoculate 640,000 children across Gaza after the polio virus was detected in sewage samples in Gaza. An 11-month-old boy whose left leg was paralyzed last month became the first confirmed case since polio was declared eradicated in the occupied Palestinian territories 25 years ago.
