Polio vaccinations 'not enough' for malnourished children in Gaza: Save the Children

Over 590,000 children in Gaza are set to receive polio vaccinations, as Save the Children says "tens of thousands of children have missed routine immunizations" due to Israel's war.

However, Ahmad Alhendawi, the global charity's Middle East regional director, said that this "crucial step" is still "not enough" as thousands of children have missed out on essential vaccines, are malnourished and living in dire conditions.
