Ministry of Health: vaccination alone cannot prevent polio spread

Gaza's Health Ministry has said that a vaccination campaign alone will not prevent the spread of polio "in the absence of clean water, personal hygiene supplies, the spread of sewage among the tents of the displaced, and the absence of a healthy environment."

On Friday, the UN Agency for Palestinian refugees (Unrwa) announced that a 10-month-old infant is now partially paralysed with polio, in the first case in Gaza in 25 years.
