Polio vaccination campaign launched in Gaza amidst ongoing conflict and humanitarian crisis
The vaccination drive comes in the wake of Gaza reporting its first polio case in 25 years—a 10-month-old boy who is now paralyzed. This case, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), suggests there may be additional undiagnosed infections. The presence of polio in the region has intensified fears of a broader epidemic, as the virus is primarily spread through fecal matter.
