Harris has taken few questions from reporters since President Biden ended his campaign. Astead Herndon, a Times political correspondent, explained the challenges of interviewing her and described his conversation with her last year as “arduous.” “She didn’t break eye contact,” [he told the On Politics newsletter](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRos2Z0P0T_aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyNC8wOC8yOC91cy9wb2xpdGljcy9rYW1hbGEtaGFycmlzLWludGVydmlld3MuaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD03JmVtYz1lZGl0X21iYWVfMjAyNDA4MjkmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9MTMyOTY2Jm5sPW1vcm5pbmctYnJpZWZpbmc6LWFzaWEtcGFjaWZpYy1lZGl0aW9uJnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD0xNzY0MjImdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCmbPdOHQZjFDB09SG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAw~~). “It was intense.

Israel made it clear that this was not the first step to a cease-fire, and that the pauses would be only for several hours at a time and in specific areas. A W.H.O. representative said that it was “critical” that 90 percent of Gaza’s children be immunized “to stop the outbreak.” Background: Gaza’s first case of polio in 25 years was confirmed by the enclave’s health ministry earlier this month. Type 2 polio was eradicated in most parts of the world in the 1990s, but aid officials have said that severely unsanitary conditions have created an environment in which even rare diseases can spread.
