Sunday, June 15, 2014 KARACHI (BNA) Officials on Saturday said four more polio cases have emerged in Pakistan, putting the total number of reported cases in the country this year to 82. Emergency coordinator of the WHO’s polio eradication program in Pakistan Elias Durry told Dawn.com on Saturday that of the four new cases, two are from Khyber Agency while the other two from North Waziristan tribal agency. “These (new cases) are children who have never been immunized before, and all belong to Pashtun areas,” he said. Last month, the WHO imposed strict travel restrictions on Pakistan to prevent the possible spread of the polio virus to other countries.
