Ayadil Saparbekov, the World Health Organization's head of health emergencies in the occupied Palestinian territories, stressed that"we have not yet collected human samples" so it remains unclear if anyone has actually been infected with the virus.A type of vaccine against polio -- a crippling and potentially fatal viral disease that mainly affects children under the age of five -- contains small amounts of weakened but live polio which can occasionally cause outbreaks.
"I'm extremely worried about outbreaks happening in Gaza," he said, pointing to the confirmation late last year that hepatitis A was spreading,"and now we may have polio". That says something in Gaza where more than 39,000 people, mostly civilians, have been killed in the war, according to data from the health ministry in Hamas-run Gaza.
