Gaza's Humanitarian Crisis: Vaccine Sites Targeted Amid Conflict

TL;DR Summary
In Gaza, Israeli airstrikes have killed over 50 children in the Jabaliya refugee camp and damaged a polio vaccination center, hindering immunization efforts. The World Health Organization and UNICEF have condemned the attacks, which occurred despite a supposed humanitarian pause. Israel has also cut ties with UNRWA, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis as aid groups warn of an "apocalyptic" situation with severe shortages of food, water, and medical supplies. Save the Children calls for a ceasefire and improved access for humanitarian aid.
