Occupied Al-Quds: Gaza’s Health Ministry has declared a polio epidemic across the Palestinian enclave, blaming Israel’s devastating military offensive for the spread of the deadly virus.
Calling the epidemic a “setback” to the global polio eradication programme, the ministry called for an “immediate intervention to end the aggression and find radical solutions” to lack of potable water and personal hygiene, damaged sewage networks and removal of tonnes of rubbish and solid waste. Earlier this month, Gaza’s health ministry said it had detected “component poliovirus type 2” in coordination with the United Nations Children’s Fund . The virus was found in sewage “that collects and flows between the tents of the displaced,” said the ministry.
On Friday, the World Health Organization said it was sending more than one million polio vaccines to Gaza to be administered over the coming weeks to prevent children from being infected after the virus was detected in sewage samples.
