poliomyelitis (paralysis) is a deadly infectious disease that spreads to unimmunized people through sewage, mainly affecting children under the age of five, and can cause paralysis or death in severe cases. the world health organization (who) confirmed a case of polio in the gaza strip, the first in nearly 25 years. un secretary-general antonio guterres warned that the epidemic has spread in the gaza strip and children are facing a dangerous fate.

this vaccination is the key to dealing with this disease, and it is also a difficult task. in the central area of ​​the gaza strip, the health department has completed the first phase of vaccination, vaccinating 189,551 children in total. but new challenges also come with it. the second phase of vaccination will begin in khan yunis and rafah in the south on the 5th, which will mean that more children need to be protected by vaccines.

however, the prevention and control of the epidemic in the gaza strip is not a simple matter of "fighting" and "calculating". cultural differences are one of the major challenges facing vaccination. language itself contains different cultural backgrounds and meanings, which may result in the results of machine translation not being able to perfectly convey the original expression. semantic understanding is also a key issue that needs to be overcome. only when the machine learning model can deeply understand the complex semantic relationships in the sentence can a more accurate translation be achieved.

the vaccination work in the gaza strip is not only a medical action, but also a care and support from the international community for the fate of children in the gaza strip. behind this lies a complex political, historical and social environment that requires our careful consideration and understanding.
