The World Health Organization is “extremely worried” about the possibility of an outbreak of the highly infectious polio virus in Gaza after traces were found in wastewater.
Dr Ayadil Saparbekov, head of the WHO’s team in the Palestinian territories, told reporters a risk assessment was being implemented and that health workers were providing protection advice to Gaza’s 2.3 million population.
But, he added, it would be “very difficult” for people to follow it, given the breakdown of water and sanitation services.
Traces of polio – which is spread through faecal matter – were found in sewage samples collected from two sites in Gaza a month ago, indicating it may be circulating.
No associated paralytic cases have been recorded so far. But the Israeli military said on Sunday that it had begun vaccinating its soldiers.
The WHO and the UN children’s agency (Unicef) believe a mass vaccination campaign may be needed in Gaza.

Can’t really go on anything BBC News provides
😢 I am from pakistan
WHO, UN, EU is all a joke. I happened to be guided by comments to look at France and their “involvement” in African countries and what I found was disgusting. We only see a very small part of the true filth that is going on in the world. They only care about money and power.
Doesn’t polio mean chicken in Spanish? The only chickens I see are ham-ass!
Criminals
You are not making an honest request for a cease fire. You are demanding ONLY an Israeli Cease fire, You are dishonest. This Hamas War ends when Hamas stops shooting. They have no intentions to do that. This is all a pack of lies. Same about the safe zones. wherever Hamas shoots from becomes a legal target. What you at the BBC slander as forced migrations are campaigns to save people from being bombed. It is the primary demand of War that everywhere the enemy fires from is immediately bombed. Are BBC reporters just too ignorant to understand this?
GET OUT BIBI NOW Thank you 🌹
British weapons at work.
BBC , how cheap you have become
No coverage about hamas and fatah deal? Lmao
Measure by measure.
😔😔😔😔😪😥
Antivaxxers. There's been a worldwide campaign to eradicate polio and polio is still only a thing in the middle east among people who are anti-immunizations. If it weren't for them, polio would be gone.
Last October Hamas announce imminent famine and THE OUTBREAK OF SMALLPOX. Of course it was a fabrication.
A new drama every week. All of them lies.
ISREALI PM THE NEW HITLER
Give Gaza kids polio vaccine .
WHO needs to look into this.
who cares what happens in the muslim world?
Its crazy how after all this the Israeli bots still have the nerve to show themselves here and argue in favour of Israels brutality
There are only two kinds of people listen to W.H.O. are : The brainwashers and the fools.
Their is no hamas in the westbank but their is na apartheid system that turning Palestinians life into hell .
Israel turned Gaza into a death camp.
Oh…the authoritarian theocracy is suffering an outbreak. Couldn't have happened to nicer people.
