Polio and Israel’s attrition genocide in Gaza

Confirmation by the Palestinian Health Ministry in August that a 10-month-old baby in Deir el-Balah had been infected with polio, leaving him paralysed, was the first proven case of the disease in the territory for 25 years.
Polio is not the only health emergency Palestinians in Gaza are facing. Hepatitis and meningitis are also spreading across the Strip and more than 995,000 cases of acute respiratory infections as well as 577,000 cases of acute watery diarrhoea have been registered in Gaza since October.
All of this is a reflection of Israel’s attrition genocide: that is, the destruction of the conditions of survival of Palestinians as a group.
