Palestinian health workers carried out the vaccinations in nasser hospital in khan younis. Unicef says the vaccinations will take place for six and a half hours every day until wednesday. Israel and hamas have agreed to three localised pauses in fighting to enable the vaccination of more than 600,000 palestinian children. Our middle east correspondent yolande knell sent this new report from jerusalem. Just two drops as the un begins vaccinating against polio in gaza. A dose is easy to give, but carrying out a mass immunisation campaign in a combat zone is a huge challenge. Parents of the first vaccinated children are relieved. Translation: i was worried and afraid because this is scary. The polio disease. This disease makes the children unable to move. Baby abdulrahman was crawling early, but now his mum worries he ll never be able to walk. He was the first child foun

With him, two other men who tried to escape. Killed in an air strike as they ran. Israel says all were involved in shooting and bombing attacks. The eastern areas of janine and its refugee camp have both been sealed off for the past three days and there are fresh reports of casualties including an 82 year old man who paramedics said was shot nine times. This morning the army pulled out of the camp. The destruction of their comment enough to remind residents of the war. They say the army lead wires from her home to blow up two of the houses opposite. Families she has known for decades. Translation: i have a 10yearold triplets and they trapped us in the room. Then they started the explosions. Five explosions. Imagine the walls shaking and your children clinging to you. It feels like we are in gaza. We met this lady. Translation: they told us we have channels and we smuggle people.

Police launched something called project guardian to try to combat the problem five years ago, but since then, the numbers have kept going up. Young people are in fear. Because they hear stories like this and think that they need to equip themselves with a knife. So you know, a lot of young people i mentor tell me i don t want to die.
