IDF: “According to the @WHO, about 90% of the population in Gaza was vaccinated against polio in the first quarter of 2024.”A massive polio vaccination campaign was launched. In March 2024, the Rockland area, where the polio case was reported, had polio-free water for an entire year.Tests in Jordan confirmed the disease in an unvaccinated 10-month-old from the central Gaza Strip, the health ministry in Ramallah said.
We are anticipating and preparing for the worst-case scenario of a polio outbreak in the coming weeks or month,” Francis Hughes, the Gaza response director at CARE International, told The Associated Press. Authorities in the central Gaza city of Deir el-Balah this week predicted that “roads will be flooded by wastewater” and “diseases will spread” after it turned off sewage water pumping and treatment stations.
….Dr Tanya Haj-Hassan, a paediatric intensive care physician, told Al Jazeera the presence of the virus in sewage was a “ticking time bomb”.
