联合国秘书长古特雷斯在8月16日的新闻发布会上表达了对加沙地带脊髓灰质炎疫情的高度担忧。他指出,如果任由疫情蔓延,不仅会对加沙的儿童造成严重影响,也会对周边国家的安全构成威胁。脊髓灰质炎,俗称小儿麻痹症,是一种由病毒引起的严重疾病,可能导致儿童四肢瘫痪。
加沙地带卫生部门确认了首例脊髓灰质炎病例,是一名未接种疫苗的10个月大婴儿。这是自25年前在加沙地带确认的最后一例病例以来,首次出现病例。联合国自7月起就已发出警告,指出加沙地带有可能爆发脊髓灰质炎疫情。
为了防止疫情的扩散,联合国宣布将从8月底开始在加沙地带实施大规模疫苗接种计划,目标对象是64万名以上的儿童。然而,这一计划的实施面临巨大挑战,因为疫苗接种需要连续7天的停火时间,而目前加沙地带的紧张局势下,停火的可能性仍然不明朗。
古特雷斯呼吁各方立即采取行动,为了人道主义,停止冲突,以确保儿童和医疗团队的安全,让疫苗接种计划能够顺利进行。世界卫生组织(WHO)表示,疫苗接种计划将分两个阶段进行,每个阶段都需要停火7天,但目前来看,实现这一目标的前景并不乐观。
这一紧急情况突显了国际社会在加沙地带面临的复杂挑战,以及保护儿童免受疾病侵害的紧迫性。国际社会需要共同努力,确保疫苗接种计划的顺利实施,以防止脊髓灰质炎疫情的扩散,保护加沙地带儿童的健康。

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres expressed deep concern at the polio outbreak in the Gaza Strip during a press conference on August 16. He noted that if the outbreak were to spread unchecked, it would have a significant impact on children in Gaza, as well as pose a threat to the security of neighboring countries. Polio, commonly known as poliomyelitis, is a serious disease caused by a virus that can lead to paralysis in children.
The health department in the Gaza Strip confirmed the first case of polio, a 10-month-old infant who had not been vaccinated. This is the first case since the last one was confirmed in the Gaza Strip 25 years ago. The UN had issued a warning since July about the potential outbreak of polio in the Gaza Strip.
To prevent the spread of the outbreak, the UN announced that it would implement a massive vaccination campaign in the Gaza Strip from the end of August, targeting over 640,000 children. However, the implementation of this campaign faces significant challenges, as the vaccination requires a seven-day ceasefire, which is uncertain given the current tense situation in the Gaza Strip.
Guterres called on all parties to take immediate action to stop the conflict for humanitarian reasons, ensuring the safety of children and medical teams so that the vaccination campaign can proceed smoothly. The World Health Organization (WHO) stated that the vaccination campaign will be carried out in two stages, each requiring a seven-day ceasefire, but the prospects for achieving this goal are not optimistic at present.
This emergency situation highlights the complex challenges facing the international community in the Gaza Strip and the urgency of protecting children from disease. The international community needs to work together to ensure the smooth implementation of the vaccination campaign to prevent the spread of the polio outbreak and protect the health of children in the Gaza Strip.
