1 November 2024 13:32 GMT
The final phase of child polio vaccinations in northern Gaza will resume on Saturday, the head of the Word Health Organization (WHO), Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, has announced.
The vaccination campaign was paused amid intensifying Israeli bombardment, forced expulsion orders and lack of humanitarian access to the region.
The final phase aims to vaccinate 119,279 children across northern Gaza.
Ghebreyesus said the campaign would resume following assurances of a "humanitarian pause" in Gaza City.
