Israeli forces appear to have withdrawn from the Jenin and two other refugee camps in the occupied West Bank after a more-than weeklong military operation that left dozens dead and a trail of destruction.
Palestinians walk on a damaged road following an Israeli military operation in the West Bank city of Jenin on Friday, Sept. 6, 2024.
The war began after Hamas launched a wide-scale attack into Israel on Oct. 7, killing some 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and abducting around 250 people. Israel's campaign in response has killed more than 40,000 Palestinians, according to the Gaza Health Ministry, whichHealth workers vaccinate kids in Gaza en masse to avoid a polio outbreak
The first phase started Sunday in hospitals and medical locations in the central Gaza Strip. UNICEF said that, by Wednesday, 189,000 children were vaccinated. The final phase focusing on the north will finish Sept. 9. In all, the WHO hopes to be able to vaccinate 640,000 Palestinian children in Gaza against polio.
Most people who have polio do not experience symptoms, and those who do usually recover in a week or so. But there is no cure, and when polio causes paralysis it is usually permanent. If the paralysis affects breathing muscles, the disease can be fatal.
Speaking Friday after meeting in Israel with Israel Katz, Annalena Baerbock pointed to the killing of six hostages by Hamas the previous week as Israeli troops appeared to be moving to rescue them.
