Children in Khan Yunis tilted their heads back, mouths open, as they received oral drops during the second phase of a polio vaccination campaign in Gaza, which began on Thursday.
"I live in a tent next to a sewage pond with significant disease and epidemic issues, and mosquitoes and worms have affected us," said Amani Ashur, 37, who brought his one-year-old son Abdul Rahman to be vaccinated. "I was worried about my child, so I brought him to be vaccinated", said Safaa al-Balbisi, 34, about her two-year-old son Yahya.
UN agency for Palestinian refugees spokeswoman Louise Wateridge said the aim was to vaccinate 200,000 children against the disease during this phase. Overall, the campaign aims to fully vaccinate more than 640,000 children in Gaza, with a third phase set to be launched in the north.
