Global National: Aug. 17, 2024 | Gaza records 1st case of polio in decades as UN urges vaccinations
In tonight’s top story: Aid groups are racing to avert the spread of polio in Gaza, after the Palestinian territory’s first confirmed case in 25 years was detected in an infant. The polio virus is highly infections and most often spreads through sewage and contaminated water, which is rampant in Gaza. Meanwhile, the United Nations (UN) is calling for peace in the region as the latest round of negotiations enters a critical stage. Nathaniel Dove reports. Plus, Ukraine’s military continues to push deeper into Russia’s Kursk region. The Ukrainian counteroffensive is threatening to turn the tables on a war that has ravaged that country for two and a half years. And as Mackenzie Gray reports, they are inching closer to a Russian nuclear power plant. The cleanup is underway in Montreal after a massive water main break that swamped streets near the Jacques-Cartier bridge. The rupture caused a powerful geyser that flooded dozens of nearby residences and businesses. There’s still no word on what caused it and the city says it will take weeks to source the necessary equipment to fix it. Dan Spector has the latest. Canadians looking to get their driveways paved are being warned of a new scam going around. The con involves shady contractors taking payment, but then doing deliberately low-quality work — or none at all. Melissa Ridgen explains. A Nova Scotia woman is speaking out after she had to pay $50,000 out of pocket for an expensive endometriosis surgery that is not commonly available in Canada. As Ella MacDonald reports, she’s now calling for more surgical options and funding for women in Canada.
