In Gaza, an urgent effort is underway to stop the spread of a life-threatening disease. The detection of “Polio” in the densely populated strip has raised concerns, especially because the disease, which was almost eradicated in the 20th century, primarily affects children.

Global’s Touria Izri provides insight into the challenges and efforts involved in this critical campaign.
