The World Health Organization says it's 'extremely worried' about a potential polio outbreak in Gaza. It warned that traces of the virus have been detected in wastewater, and that the dire sanitation situation could allow it to spread quickly. Polio attacks the central nervous system, causing paralysis and death in extreme cases. The WHO says a mass vaccination campaign may be needed.
