Polio Outbreak in Gaza Amid Severe Sanitation Crisis, Israel and Humanitarian Groups Plan Vaccination Campaign
Jul 21, 2024, 12:09 PM

The spread of the disease is linked to severe sanitation issues, with hundreds of thousands of tons of solid waste piling up in the streets and near displaced families' tents. Humanitarian groups are considering a mass polio vaccination campaign for Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. Meanwhile, Israel is vaccinating its own troops and the Gazan population. The outbreak has raised accusations against Israel of using water as a weapon, further complicating the crisis.
