At least 602,000 children in Gaza at risk of permanent paralysis

The Health Ministry in the Gaza Strip has likened Israel’s prevention of polio vaccines in the besieged and bombarded territory to “a time bomb that threatens to spread the epidemic”.

In a statement, it said 602,000 children in Gaza were at risk of permanent paralysis and chronic disabilities unless they could receive the desperately needed vaccines.
