Palestinian child in Gaza contracts polio amid aid restrictions
In Gaza's Deir al-Balah, Palestinian boy Abdulrahman Abu al-Jedian, who contracted polio a month ago, sits surrounded by family members in their tent.
His mother explained that "due to the continuous displacement since the beginning of the war, he did not receive the necessary vaccinations."
Unrelenting air strikes by Israel more than 10 months into its war on Gaza, restrictions of aid entering the besieged territory and hot summer temperatures all threaten the viability of a life-saving inoculation drive in the besieged Palestinian territory.
