The United Nations-led emergency polio vaccination campaign in Gaza, initiated on September 1st, aims to immunize over 640,000 children amid ongoing conflict, with 560,000 doses already administered. This initiative follows the alarming discovery of a poliovirus case in a 10-month-old boy, leading to urgent public health measures. Despite significant challenges such as the destruction of healthcare infrastructure and safety concerns for health workers, the campaign continues, supported by various organizations including UNRWA. In Pakistan, the resurgence of polio cases has prompted emergency vaccination drives against a backdrop of violence targeting polio workers, highlighting the ongoing struggle against the virus. Experts warn that without a concerted effort to address security and logistical issues, both Pakistan and Gaza face significant hurdles in their polio eradication efforts. The origins of Gaza's poliovirus strain have been traced back to Egypt, raising concerns about cross-border health risks.
