00:00This is what was desperately needed, not just the polio vaccine doses, not just the health
00:06professionals capable of carrying out this particularly complicated campaign.
00:12The humanitarian pauses, no fighting for eight consecutive hours in specific areas.
00:19Israel and Hamas have agreed to this.
00:21Gazan families rushed to get their children vaccinated.
00:26We escaped death with our children and were displaced from place to place for the sake
00:31of our children and we found these diseases.
00:34We are thankful to the institutions that contributed to vaccination and helped bring this vaccination
00:39into Gaza for our children.
00:41640,000 children are set to get a vaccine after the first polio case in 25 years was
00:49detected last month.
00:51The 11-month patient is one of the babies who did not get their vaccine because of the
00:57ongoing violence.
00:59Infectious diseases have spread in the enclave in recent months.
01:05We're living in dire conditions in a tent, water is not clean, food is not clean.
01:11I've come here to vaccinate my children.
01:13I was afraid that they would contract the disease.
01:16We heard that there were cases in Gaza, so I came because I'm concerned.
01:22The campaign is set to be carried out in three phases in central, southern and northern Gaza
01:28over three to six days, if everything goes according to plan.
