Netanyahu denies full ceasefire for polio vaccinations for children

The office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has denied reports that Gaza’s children will receive polio vaccinations en masse.

According to the office, "claims of a complete ceasefire to facilitate mass polio vaccinations are incorrect."

"Israel will allow the entry of polio vaccines through humanitarian corridors, and vaccinations will be administered at designated safe sites for limited hours," it added in a statement.
