Polio re-emerges in Gaza; aid groups seek fighting pause

Polio has re-emerged in Gaza after 25 years, with at least one confirmed case and others suspected. Vaccination rates have plummeted due to ongoing conflict, leaving hundreds of thousands vulnerable. Aid groups plan to vaccinate over 600,000 children but require a seven-day pause in fighting to proceed. The World Health Organization and UNICEF are coordinating efforts to deliver 1.6 million vaccine doses amid deteriorating sanitation conditions.
