Increase in dog attacks prompts calls for action
The local government in Jericho and the Jordan Valley is addressing the increase in stray dog attacks, with 76 dog bite cases recorded since the beginning of the year. This poses a serious health threat due to the risk of rabies, which can be fatal if not treated promptly. Sources emphasize the importance of providing rabies vaccinations, especially since previous challenges included vaccine shortages and restrictions on access imposed by the Israeli occupation. However, the situation is improving today with the implementation of cooperative measures between the governorates to ensure continuous vaccination efforts. Authorities have called on citizens to seek immediate medical attention at health centers if bitten or scratched, and to avoid stitching wounds before professional evaluation. The role of veterinary agencies and municipalities in controlling the stray dog population must be activated to safeguard residents and prevent the spread of the disease.
