Gaza has recently seen a surge in Guillain-Barre syndrome, which can cause full-body paralysis in extreme cases.
Paralytic diseases are spreading in Gaza as an Israeli blockade continues to prevent medicine and food from coming in.
Since June, 85 suspected cases of Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) have been reported, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).
The WHO reported that there have been eight deaths associated with GBS in Gaza.
GBS is a condition where the body’s immune system attacks the myelin sheath, which protects the peripheral nerves.
