WHO says sending over 1 million polio vaccines to Gaza
Geneva, Switzerland – AFP
The World Health Organization on Wednesday said it will send more than one million polio vaccines to war-torn Gaza after the virus was detected in wastewater there.
“WHO is sending more than 1 million polio vaccines which will be administered in the coming weeks,” the UN agency’s chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus told a press conference.
“The detection of polio in wastewater in Gaza is a telltale sign that the virus has been circulating in the community, putting unvaccinated children at risk.”
