Emergency Polio Vaccination Campaign Launches in Gaza Amid Conflict

In response to the first polio case in 25 years, a large-scale vaccination campaign has commenced in Gaza, targeting approximately 640,000 children amidst ongoing conflict. The World Health Organization announced that Israel agreed to limited pauses in fighting to facilitate the health initiative, aiming to prevent an outbreak in the war-stricken area. The campaign, supported by Palestinian health authorities and United Nations agencies, plans to operate eight hours a day through September 9, starting in central Gaza before moving to the more heavily affected northern and southern regions. This health emergency unfolds as Gaza grapples with the devastating impacts of war, including significant civilian casualties and the destruction of critical infrastructure.

Trump hits ‘nasty’ Michelle Obama at Atlanta rally

Former President Trump attacked former first lady Michelle Obama during his rally in Atlanta on Monday, calling her “nasty” after Obama lobbed attacks at the former president while stumping for Vice President Harris.“You know who’s nasty to me? Michelle Obama,” Trump told supporters in Atlanta.“I always tried to be so nice and respectful. Oh, she opened up a little bit of — a little bit of a box. She opened up a little bit of something. Oh, she was nasty. Shouldn’t be that way. That was a big mistake that she made,” he added.His remarks come after Obama criticized Trump during a Michigan rally on Saturday, at one point mentioning “Donald Trump’s gross incompetence.”“I hope that you’ll forgive me if I’m a little angry that we are indifferent to his erratic behavior, his obvious mental decline, his history as a convicted felon, a known slum lord, a predator found liable for sexual abuse, all of this while we pick apart Kamala’s answers from interviews that he doesn’t even have the courage to do, y’all,” she said in Kalamazoo, Mich.The heated rhetoric underscores the increasingly personal tone the presidential election has taken between the two campaigns roughly one week out from the election.An aggregate of national surveys compiled by The Hill/Decision Desk HQ shows Harris slightly ahead at close to 49 percent support while Trump is at 48 percent.
