Gaza Polio Crisis: War-battered Gaza faces an uphill battle against polio, with healthcare systems struggling to manage the outbre...
The Gaza Strip's first recorded polio case in 25 years has health workers and aid agencies grappling with the steep obstacles to conducting mass vaccination in the war-torn Palestinian territory.
According to the United Nations, Gaza had not registered a case for 25 years, although type 2 poliovirus was detected in samples collected from the territory's wastewater in June. But a major challenge remains Israel's devastating military campaign, triggered by Hamas's October 7 attack on the country's south.
Some 1.6 million doses of the oral vaccine would follow, and are expected to enter Gaza on Sunday via the Kerem Shalom crossing, Crickx said. Touma, who worked on polio response during wars in Iraq and Syria, said that"the return of polio to a place where it's been eradicated says quite a lot."
