Israel and Hamas have agreed to three-day ceasefires to allow a critical polio vaccination drive in Gaza. Starting Sunday, these pauses will enable the immunization of 640,000 children in response to Gaza's first polio case in 25 years. With at least 90% coverage needed, this effort is essential to curb the outbreak and prevent further spread. This rare cooperation underscores the urgency and scale of the vaccination campaign, aiming to protect the region's youngest against a resurgence of the disease.
 
That's good news! It can help ensure the vaccination reaches the people in need. ☺️ I'm glad they agreed, although I hope it's a permanent ceasefire. 🥹
