The UN children’s agency has said a polio vaccination campaign in Gaza reached 189,000 children, surpassing its target and providing a “rare bright spot” in nearly 11 months of war.

Unicef said more than 500 teams deployed across central Gaza this week, administering the vaccine to children under 10.
