The Palestinian Ministry of Health has announced that polio vaccines have arrived in the occupied West Bank and are awaiting delivery to Gaza. This development comes after polio was detected in Gaza's sewage water last month, putting thousands of Palestinians at risk of contracting the disease, which can lead to paralysis.
According to the health ministry in Ramallah, officials are currently coordinating the delivery of the vaccines. Necessary equipment to keep the vaccines cold has already been delivered to Gaza, ensuring the vaccines' efficacy.
