There is no treatment for #polio, but #vaccination prevents the #disease. Polio primarily affects #children under 5, although anyone who is #unvaccinated can contract the #virus. One of every 200 infections results in permanent #paralysis. Of those cases, up to 10% die when #breathing muscles become immobilized, according to the #WHO.

“Preventing and containing the spread of polio will take a massive, coordinated and urgent effort,” Mr. Guterres said, adding, “It is impossible to conduct a polio vaccination campaign with war raging all over.” He also warned that the disease could spread to neighboring countries if it were not quickly contained.“
