The Palestinian Ministry of Health has confirmed the presence of the polio virus in the sewage and contaminated water in Gaza’s refugee camps.
According to foreign media reports, following the confirmation of the polio virus in the sewage and contaminated water of Gaza’s refugee camps, Israeli forces have begun vaccinating their soldiers against polio.
Additionally, an Oxfam report states that Israel has reduced the amount of available water in Gaza by 94%, leading to a severe health crisis.
Israeli tanks have advanced again in Rafah, resulting in the deaths of 50 more Palestinians.
Furthermore, the Red Cross has stated that hospitals in southern Gaza are at a ‘breaking point,’ while UNRWA reports that only 10 out of its 26 health centers in Gaza are operational.
It is worth noting that since the Israeli aggression began on October 7, more than 38,000 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza, including a large number of women and children.
The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) has stated that it could take 15 years to clear the rubble resulting from the Israeli aggression in Gaza.
