Gaza Health Ministry Given no Information About ‘Temporary Truce’ for Polio Vaccine Rollout
The health ministry in Gaza has told Al Araby TV that the ministry has not been officially informed about a temporary truce in certain parts of Gaza to allow for the rollout of polio vaccines.
Earlier on Wednesday, Israel’s Channel 12 news station reported that Israel agreed to pause military operations in certain parts of the Gaza Strip for the vaccine to be distributed to Palestinians.
“This is not a truce, but only the allocation of certain places in the Strip. Also, the issue was presented to the cabinet and received the support of the ministers,” his office said.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office responded to the report saying it “is incorrect” to call it a truce.
