Combating any infectious diseases will present challenges for Gaza\'s largely destroyed health care system.
Two Palestinian boys walk past stagnant pools of water in Khan Yunis in the southern Gaza Strip on July 19, 2024.Vaccine-derived poliovirus type 2 was found in samples taken on June 23 from sites in Khan Younis and Deir al-Balah.
the presence of the poliovirus was a “ticking time bomb,” especially given the lack of ability to isolate and care for people who contract the disease.Haj-Hassan warned that it would be “catastrophic” if the disease spread among healthcare workers, given that the medical system has already been “annihilated by direct targeting, by abductions of healthcare workers, by killing of healthcare workers.
Polio, which can spread through contact with the stool of an infected person, has been eliminated from much of the world following the development of a vaccine in the early 1950s and a campaign by U.N. agencies that began in 1980. Still, it hasn’t been eradicated globally, and there’s been a resurgence in Afghanistan and Pakistan in recent years.
Combatting any infectious diseases will present challenges for Gaza’s public healthcare system, which has been embattled and largely destroyed by Israeli forces. Only 16 out of the enclave’s 36 hospitals are even partially functional, and only 45 of the 105 primary health care facilities are operational, according to the WHO.
