Amman: The World Health Organization (WHO) said on Friday that the type 2 polio virus had crippled Gaza, the first case in the territory in 25 years, citing a 10-month-old infant amid a ravaged conflict. UN agencies are recommending that all infants receive vaccinations right away. While not intrinsically more harmful than types 1 and 3, the type 2 virus (cVDPV2) has been implicated in most recent outbreaks, particularly in regions with low vaccination rates. Organizations from the United Nations have demanded that Israel grant a humanitarian seven-day ceasefire to its ten-month-old conflict so that immunization efforts can continue throughout the region.
