(Informed Comment) – Julian Borger at The Guardian reports that the first
verified case of type 2 poliovirus in 25 years in Gaza, in a baby, has resulted
in the paralysis of the infant. It is only the first of many if the UN is not
allowed to administer vaccines to 650,000 children in the Strip, which will
definitely require a ceasefire. The Israeli authorities are refusing to
consider this step.
