As the Israel-Palestine conflict grinds into its 11th month, children suffer the most. A recent polio outbreak has triggered an emergency vaccination campaign for 640,000 children under the age of 10, worsening an already dire crisis for Gaza's most vulnerable.
CGTN interviewed Ahamed Sharaf, who brought his son to get vaccinated at a clinic in the Deir al-Balah area. He said various diseases have raged in Gaza since the conflict broke out, so he must be well prepared.
The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East stated that although the vaccination operation has made some progress, only a permanent ceasefire can truly guarantee these children's safety and end the humanitarian disaster.
