Several UN agencies have called for a ceasefire or at least a ‘polio pause’ in the war-torn Gaza to vaccinate more than 640,000 children in the besieged strip.

Gaza Health Ministry announced registering the first case of poliovirus in the southern governorate of the war-torn Gaza Strip.

In the latest sign of the worsening situation in Gaza, Palestinian Health Ministry has declared outbreak of polio epidemic in the war-ton strip.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has warned of potential outbreak of polio in Gaza amid the poor sanitation system in the besieged Gaza Strip.
