Health Worker Marks Finger of Palestinian Child Vaccinated Against Polio in Gaza Amid Conflict

A health worker marks the finger of a Palestinian child vaccinated against polio in Deir Al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip, on September 1, 2024, amid the ongoing conflict between Israel and the militant group Hamas. The World Health Organization says Israel agrees to at least three days of ''humanitarian pauses'' in parts of Gaza, starting on August 31, to facilitate a vaccination drive after the territory records its first case of polio in a quarter of a century.
