Polio is an extremely contagious viral infection linked in particular to the lack of drinking water and unsanitary conditions, which can cause paralysis in children or even death.<\/p>\n
On the ground, our teams are carrying out an emergency response<\/strong>: over 50,000 consultations<\/strong> conducted since May 2024<\/strong>, including 3,500<\/strong> vaccinations against polio types 1 and 3<\/strong>, diphtheria, and tetanus. Vaccinations against polio type 2 began this week: in one day, 1,610 children were vaccinated.<\/strong><\/p>\n Since Sunday, Israel has implemented humanitarian pauses to launch a vaccination campaign for children. While these humanitarian pauses do indeed allow for vaccination, they are however insufficient to<\/strong> protect the Gazan population<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The shortage of medical supplies risks interrupting essential services (emergency care, surgical interventions, intensive care\u2026), endangering the lives of patients and the injured.<\/p>\n A lasting ceasefire is the only solution.<\/p>\n\n Photo: MdM France<\/p>","temps_lecture":1,"legende_couverture":"","signature_nom":"","signature_role":"","signature_initiales":"","signature_avatar":"","communique_lien":"","communique_libelle":"","encadre_titre":"","encadre_texte":"","partenaires_titre":"","partenaires":null,"reseaux_partage":["facebook","twitter","linkedin","email","copy"],"evenement_date":null,"evenement_type":"","evenement_lieu":"","evenement_inscription":"","presse_afficher":false,"presse_surtitre":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/medecinsdumonde.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/actualite\/5071","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/medecinsdumonde.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/actualite"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/medecinsdumonde.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/actualite"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/medecinsdumonde.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/actualite\/5071\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5073,"href":"https:\/\/medecinsdumonde.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/actualite\/5071\/revisions\/5073"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/medecinsdumonde.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5072"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/medecinsdumonde.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5071"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"actualite_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/medecinsdumonde.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/actualite_type?post=5071"},{"taxonomy":"actualite_sujet","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/medecinsdumonde.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/actualite_sujet?post=5071"},{"taxonomy":"action_combat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/medecinsdumonde.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/action_combat?post=5071"},{"taxonomy":"mdm_pays","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/medecinsdumonde.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/mdm_pays?post=5071"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
