Concurrently, medical sources reported that several civilians sustained injuries of varying severity, with additional individuals reported missing following Israeli attacks on tents at a facility housing forcibly displaced people northwest of Khan Younis.

The Israeli genocide is ongoing 

An Israeli warplane also bombed a house in the Bureij camp in the central Gaza Strip. Furthermore, Israeli military vehicles opened fire northwest of the Nuseirat camp, also in central Gaza. Artillery bombardments and heavy gunfire in the camp accompanied the firing.

In another incident, Israeli warplanes bombed a home on al-Nuseirat Street east of Gaza City in the northern Gaza Strip, causing a fire to break out.

Since October 7, 2023, Israeli occupation forces have continued their assault on the Gaza Strip by land, sea, and air. The ongoing genocide has resulted in the martyrdom of at least 40,786 individuals, the majority of whom are women and children, and left 94,224 others injured. This toll remains provisional, as rescue teams are still unable to reach thousands of victims trapped under rubble and in the streets.

Gaza parents fear for children as polio threat adds to genocide

Like many others in Gaza, Eid al-Attar, a teacher from the northern part of the territory, now spends his days struggling to secure enough food and water to keep his family alive.

Forced to be forcibly displaced eight times since the Israeli war on Gaza erupted in October, the 42-year-old has done his best to protect his five children. Now, the Palestinian territory faces a new threat: the highly contagious and potentially deadly polio virus which had again spread due to the Israeli total blockade and systemically destroyed its healthcare system.

“We cannot protect our children. We are exposed to death at any moment due to the constant bombardment and insecurity. And I cannot protect them from diseases either,” he told The Guardian in Deir al-Balah on Sunday as a UN-led vaccination campaign got underway.

“We live in a tent, which does not protect us from anything, there are no medicines, there is garbage everywhere, and the streets are filled with wastewater,” he added.

"Israel’s" bombing campaign in Gaza has decimated the territory’s healthcare system, with 31 of 36 hospitals damaged or destroyed, according to the World Health Organization. About 90% of the 2.3 million people who live in the Gaza Strip have been forcibly displaced from their homes, with the majority living in very overcrowded, unsanitary makeshift camps. Hepatitis, pneumonia and diarrheal diseases such as dysentery, as well as scabies, lice, and debilitating rashes are already rife, the WHO said.

One of healthcare workers’ worst fears was confirmed last week when Gaza recorded its first case of type 2 polio in a quarter century. The contagious disease can cause paralysis and death, particularly in infants and young children.

Polio was eradicated from the Gaza Strip in 1999, but a strain was detected in routine wastewater testing in July. It is believed to have come from an oral polio vaccine, which contains a weakened live virus, and can in rare cases be shed by vaccinated people and evolve into a new, contagious form.
