Israeli airstrikes in Gaza on August 31, 2024, killed at least 48 people, Palestinian health authorities reported. The strikes come as the United Nations prepares to begin a polio vaccination campaign for 640,000 children in the enclave. The campaign, which depends on daily eight-hour pauses in fighting, follows the confirmation of a polio case in Gaza, the first in 25 years. Health officials stressed that a comprehensive ceasefire is crucial for successful vaccination. The Israeli military continues operations in Gaza, targeting militants and infrastructure amid ongoing conflict that has caused widespread devastation.
