The World Health Organization declared an international health emergency due to the recent outbreaks of polio. It seems that the countries Pakistan, Syria, and Cameroon have caused the disease to spread to Afghanistan, Iraq, and Equatorial Guinea. The organization found 417 new cases of the disease in 2013.
