JAKARTA - The United Nations canceled the polio vaccination that should have been carried out at a UN school in Gaza after the school was badly damaged by Israeli airstrikes.
The school is planned to be used for the #polio vaccination campaign starting today, "said UNRWA Commissioner General Philippe Lazzarini on X.
"We had to cancel vaccinations at the school due to severe damage," he added.
Officials from Al Awda and Al Aqsa hospitals in Gaza said on Sunday, October 13, 22 people were killed in an Israeli attack on Al Mufti's school in the Nuseirat refugee camp in Gaza. More than 5,000 refugees took refuge there.
"Gaza is a never-ending hell. All of this shouldn't be a new norm," added Lazzarini.

The United Nations last month began a polio vaccination campaign after Israeli airstrikes destroyed water and sanitation systems, which led to the re-emergence of this deadly disease in the trapped region.
The UN polio campaign, facilitated by a series of breaks in Israeli-approved fighting, comes after the highly contagious virus was found in a waste sample in the region in June.
Then in August, an 11-month-old boy became the first person in Gaza in 25 years to be diagnosed with polio.
