Summary The World Health Organization (WHO) has stopped anti-polio teams from working in the city.

 

PESHAWAR (Online) - The decision was made after anti-polio teams refused to work in several areas of the city following an attack on vaccination workers.


Earlier on Tuesday, a woman was shot dead while another was injured in the Badaber area of Peshawar. Both women were polio vaccination workers.


According to a statement, the WHO has asked ulema (religious scholars) to help in making the anti-polio a success.
