United Nations and Palestinian health authorities have administered tens of thousands of doses of the polio vaccine to children across the Gaza Strip. The mass vaccination campaign began Sunday after Israel agreed to limited pauses in its attacks to allow the campaign to go ahead. This is U.N. spokersperson Louis Wateridge.
Louise Wateridge: “We had the first rain yesterday afternoon. It was a pretty torrential downpour for the best part of an hour. And it’s just a huge warning for what winter will bring. The sewage water was flooding the streets. Everybody here is sleeping on the floor. You know, the shelters aren’t waterproof.”
