“Total paralysis within hours”
Separately, the Israeli Health Ministry confirmed on Thursday that it found components of the type 2 poliovirus in sewage samples from Gaza.
The ministry said in a statement published by Channel 12 that the sample results matched those of the World Health Organization.
The samples tested in a WHO-accredited laboratory in Israel raise concerns about the virus’s presence in the area, the statement added.
Polio is a highly contagious viral disease that attacks the nervous system and can cause total paralysis within hours.
