War on hold in Gaza as polio vaccine drive offers hope
The Guardian Weekly
|September 06, 2024
Like so many in Gaza, Eid alAttar, a teacher from the north of the territory, now spends his days trying to find enough food and water for his family. Displaced eight times since the war between Israel and Hamas broke out in October, the 42-year-old has tried his best to protect his five children. Now the Palestinian territory is facing a new danger: the highly infectious and potentially deadly disease, polio.
"We cannot protect our children. We are exposed to death at any moment due to the constant bombardment and insecurity. And I cannot protect them from diseases either," he said in Deir al-Balah last Sunday as a UN-led vaccination campaign got under way.
"We live in a tent, which does not protect us from anything, there are no medicines, there is garbage everywhere, and the streets are filled with wastewater," he said.
