The UN’s World Health Organization (WHO) has called for a ceasefire in Gaza to facilitate a mass polio vaccination campaign for 600,000 children under the age of eight, following the detection of polio in the enclave’s wastewater. WHO polio specialist Hamid Jafari warned that without a ceasefire and adequate freedom of movement for healthcare workers, the risk of a polio outbreak in Gaza and the region is “very high.” Jafari emphasized that the disease could spread rapidly, posing a direct threat to Gaza’s children and potentially leading to a public health emergency in Israel, the West Bank, Lebanon, Egypt, Jordan, and other nearby countries.
