Pakistan began its first anti-polio campaign of the year, targeting 44.2 million children under the age of five amid a surge in infections in 2022. The country reported 20 polio cases last year, compared to only one in 2021. Pakistan has witnessed frequent attacks on polio teams and security forces guarding them, with militants claiming that the vaccination campaigns are a Western conspiracy to sterilize children.
