Polio has broken out among young children in northeast Syria after probably originating in Pakistan and poses a threat to millions of children across the Middle East, the World Health Organisation (WHO) said on October 29, 2013. The crippling disease, which is caused by a virus transmitted via contaminated food and water, could spread especially fast in Syria, where civil war has led to falling vaccination rates.

在过去两年里,脊髓灰质炎(小儿麻痹症)在饱受战火蹂躏的叙利亚爆发。现在联合国在该国和该地区的其他六国发起了一项大型疫苗接种项目。世界卫生组织和日内瓦联合国儿童基金会称,目前已有约65万名儿童接种了小儿麻痹症疫苗,其中11万6千人住在该国东北部战区代尔祖尔。该项目计划为2000万名儿童接种疫苗。

今年10月底,世界卫生组织证实了叙利亚的数例小儿麻痹症病例,尽管该病症自1999年起被认为是已经绝种。代尔祖尔的22例疑似病例中有10例得到证实。根据联合国的数据统计,叙利亚在过去两年中有50万儿童没有接种过针对该高度传染性疾病的疫苗。脊髓灰质炎病毒可侵入神经系统,在数小时内导致瘫痪,甚至死亡。
