Palestinian health officials have reported the first case of polio in an unvaccinated 10-month-old child in the Gaza city of Deir al-Balah. This is the first case in 25 years in the coastal enclave. UN health and children's agencies have called for seven-day pauses in the fighting, starting at the end of August, to vaccinate 640,000 Palestinian children against polio.
