Israeli air strikes pound Gaza City, Nuseirat
The fighting is still raging in northern Gaza. More Israeli strikes are hammering residential homes in the city’s Zeitoun neighbourhood. Six Palestinians have been confirmed killed in one of the latest strikes on a residential home there.
Meanwhile, Israel’s military is presumably working to expand the Netzarim Corridor, where it can control Palestinians’ movement between the north and the south of the Strip, blowing up residential squares near the corridor.
It’s not only the north of the Gaza Strip that has been under fire.
We have heard loud explosions since the early hours of the morning in central Gaza’s Nuseirat refugee camp. Initial reports from medical sources are that two Palestinians have been killed in the latest strikes in that battered camp.
Four more Palestinians killed in central Gaza’s Nuseirat
At least four people have been killed and a number of others wounded in Israeli shelling of a tent sheltering displaced people west of the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza, according to our colleagues at Al Jazeera Arabic.
More than 160,000 children received polio vaccination in southern Gaza: UNRWA
The UN agency for Palestinian refugees, UNRWA, says more than 160,000 children were reached on the first day of the polio vaccination campaign in southern Gaza yesterday.
“Today we will continue vaccinating as many children as possible,” UNRWA said on X.
The Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza yesterday said the Israeli army was refusing to coordinate the entry of medical teams affiliated with the emergency polio vaccination campaign into some areas of southern Gaza.
The first phase of the vaccination campaign was successfully completed in central Gaza, with more than 187,000 below the age of 10 receiving the vaccination.
The second phase is targeting an estimated 340,000 children in southern Gaza.
