US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has said Israel has agreed to support efforts to vaccinate Gazans for polio after the besieged territory reported its first case of the disease in 25 years, AFP reports.

“We’re working with the Israeli government on that, and I believe that we’ll be able to move forward with a plan to do that in the coming weeks. It is urgent. It is vital,” Blinken told reporters in Tel Aviv.
