IOF martyred 27 Palestinians while polio vaccination resumed

TEHRAN (Defapress) - Reuters reported that Israeli military strikes martyred at least 27 Palestinians across the Gaza Strip on Friday, medics said, as health officials resumed vaccination of tens of thousands more children in the enclave against polio.

In the Nuseirat refugee camp, an Israeli airstrike martyred two women and two children, while eight other people were martyred in two other airstrikes in Gaza City, the medics said. The rest were martyred in subsequent strikes across the enclave, they added.

Also, the United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees, UNRWA, said at least 160,000 children received the drops in southern areas of Gaza on Thursday where medical staffers began the second stage of the campaign. 

"Since 1 September @UNRWA & partners have vaccinated nearly 355,000 children against #polio in #Gaza middle & southern areas," UNRWA said in a post on X.
