The Gazan health ministry announced that a new shipment of polio vaccines totaling 350,000 doses had arrived in Gaza, Anadolu reports.

It came as the vaccination campaign in the enclave continued amid a devastating Israeli conflict.

“An additional 350,000 doses of polio vaccines arrived in the Gaza Strip on Tuesday evening and have been stored in refrigerators at the Ministry of Health warehouses in Deir al-Balah,” Palestinian Health Minister Majed Abu Ramadan said in a statement.

He said these measures were coordinated with the UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF).
