Sharjah24: On Wednesday, Israeli airstrikes in the Gaza Strip resulted in the deaths of 42 people. The Israeli military also intensified its blockade in the northern areas of the territory, surrounding hospitals and shelters for displaced individuals and instructing residents to move south.

The Palestinian health ministry in Gaza and the World Health Organization have announced that they will be unable to proceed with the planned polio vaccination campaign in the northern region of the territory. This is due to the heavy shelling, mass displacement, and inaccessibility in the area.
