		</div><p>The UN children’s agency has said a polio vaccination campaign in Gaza reached 189,000 children, surpassing its target and providing a “rare bright spot” in nearly 11 months of war.</p>
<p>Unicef said more than 500 teams deployed across central Gaza this week, administering the vaccine to children under 10.</p>
<p>It said Israel and Hamas observed limited pauses in the fighting to facilitate the campaign.</p>
<p>UN agencies now hope to expand the campaign to the harder-hit north and south of the territory. They hope to vaccinate a total of 640,000 children.</p>
<p>The campaign was launched after Gaza had its first reported polio case in 25 years – a 10-month-old boy, now paralysed in the leg.</p>
<p>Health experts have warned of disease outbreaks in the territory, where the vast majority of people have been displaced, often multiple times, and where hunger is widespread.</p>
<p>Hundreds of thousands of people are crammed into squalid tent camps with few if any public services.</p>
