00:00We declare today that there have been a case of active poliomyelitis recorded in Gaza Strip.
00:14The case involves a child, actually a newborn, he's only 10 months old, and he never had
00:22the chance to get his vaccination before, because as you all know, due to the war, due
00:28to the destruction of most of our health facilities, this child never been given the chance to
00:36get two drops of the polio vaccination.
00:40On this occasion, I urge all the international community and all those who control what happens
00:49in the world, first, to stop this severe war on Gaza.
00:54The destruction should stop now.
00:56Ceasefire should be implied now.
01:00Second, there should be a safe haven for those, our medical and health teams that will work
01:06in order to get the vaccination.
01:08Third, there should be rehabilitation of our clean, safe water resources, solving the problem
01:19of the sewage flooding our streets and homes, bringing into Gaza the personal hygiene kits
01:29that are needed, and also to give all the medication, disposables, laboratory means
01:37needed in this event.
