 * Summary

 * Palestinian officials say Israel kills 48 in Gaza
 * Polio vaccination campaign continues for second day
 * Israel hit by general strike amid grief over dead hostages

CAIRO/GAZA Sept 2 (Reuters) - Israeli forces killed at least 48 Palestinians in
the past 24 hours across the Gaza Strip as they battled Hamas-led militants,
Palestinian officials said on Monday, while medics conducted a second day of
polio vaccinations for children in the enclave.
Palestinian and UN officials said more than 80,000 children had been vaccinated
in central areas of Gaza on Sunday, the first day of the campaign.
Hamas and Israel have agreed to brief pauses in fighting to allow the campaign
to vaccinate some 640,000 children to go ahead. No violations have been reported
near vaccination facilities.

Seven Palestinians were killed in two Israeli air strikes on Gaza City,
Palestinian officials said on Monday, while two air strikes killed six others in
Bureij and Nuseirat, two of the Gaza Strip's eight historic refugee camps.
There was no immediate comment from the Israeli military.
The armed wings of Hamas and the Islamic Jihad said fighters had confronted
Israeli forces in north, south and in some central area of Gaza with anti-tank
rockets and mortar fire.

UNRWA, the U.N. Palestinian refugee agency, repeated its call on Monday for an
immediate ceasefire to help ensure a successful and safe polio vaccination
campaign.
"On 1st day only, @UNRWA teams & partners reached around 87,000 children
according to @WHO. Efforts are ongoing to provide children with this key
vaccine, but what they need most is a #CeasefireNow," it said on the X social
media platform.

Israel and Hamas have continued to trade blame for the failure to conclude a
ceasefire, that would end the war, and see the release of Israeli and foreign
hostages held in Gaza and many Palestinians jailed in Israel.

Parents continued bringing their infants to be vaccinated at medical facilities
on Monday. The World Health Organization (WHO) says a drop in routine
vaccinations in the Occupied Palestinian Territories, including Gaza, has
contributed to the re-emergence of polio in the area.

Polio myelitis is a highly infectious virus that can cause paralysis and death
in infants, with under-2s most at risk.
The WHO confirmed last month that a baby was partially paralysed by the type 2
polio virus, the first such case in the territory in 25 years.
"I am happy that I vaccinated my children against polio so that they don't
suffer from anything in the future, God willing. Hopefully all Gazan children
get vaccinated not only against polio but against other diseases too," said
Waffa Abdelhadi after getting her two daughters, aged five months and five years
old, vaccinated at a medical facility in Deir Al-Balah.
She had to navigate roads devastated by war, with wrecked residential buildings
on all sides, to reach the facility.
"We don't (only) want vaccinations. We want them to stop the war," said
Abdelhadi, adding she had been displaced with her family seven times in recent
months.
Palestinians say a key reason for the return of polio is the collapse of the
health system and the destruction of most Gaza hospitals. Israel accuses Hamas
of using hospitals for military purposes, which the Islamist group denies.
The 11-month old war in Gaza was triggered after Hamas militants on Oct. 7
stormed into southern Israel, killing 1,200 people and taking more than 250
hostages by Israeli tallies.
Since then, an estimated 40,786 Palestinians have been killed and more than
94,000 injured in Gaza, the enclave's health ministry said on Monday.
Israeli protesters took to the streets for a second day on Monday and the
largest trade union launched a general strike to press the government to reach a
deal to return hostages still held by Hamas, after six more captives were found
dead in Gaza.
