General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus announced in a press release that vaccines will be given to children in the coming weeks, noting that no cases of polio have been recorded so far, but without immediate action, it is "only a matter of time before it reaches thousands of children who have been left unprotected." Humanitarian workers have expressed deep concern about the impact of a potential polio emergency in Gaza, amid catastrophic health conditions marked by outbreaks of hepatitis A and countless other preventable diseases, as well as lack of access to health care, due to the war.
