The World Health Organization said on X on Monday that the second phase of a polio vaccination campaign had started in central Gaza.

Aid groups carried out a first round of vaccinations last month, after a baby was partially paralysed by the type 2 polio virus in August, in the first such case in the territory in 25 years.
