GAZA August 23. 2024 (Saba) - The World Health Organization (WHO) on Friday said a ten-month-old baby in Gaza has contracted polio, the first case recorded in more than 25 years.

The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) said on Friday it will vaccinate children in both primary health care centers and mobile clinics starting from the end of this month, as it is the time to prioritize children's health.

The agency warned of delays in reaching a humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza, which would increase the risk of polio spreading in Gaza.
