Updated 6:37 AM EDT, Mon October 14, 2024 UN cancels polio vaccinations in Gaza school struck by Israel From CNN’s Kareem Khadder and Nadeen Ebrahim The United Nations has canceled polio vaccinations due to take place at a UN school in Gaza after it sustained “severe damage” from an airstrike, UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini said Monday. Officials from Gaza’s Al Awda and Al Aqsa hospitals said on Sunday that at least 22 people were killed in Israeli strikes on Al Mufti school in Gaza’s Nuseirat refugee camp. More than 5,000 displaced people were sheltering there, Gaza’s civil defense said. “Gaza is a never ending hell. All of this must not become the new norm,” Lazzarini added. CNN has reached out to the Israeli military for comment. More on the vaccinations: The UN last month began a polio vaccination campaign after Israeli airstrikes destroyed water and sanitation systems, leading to a resurgence of the deadly disease in the besieged strip. The UN’s polio campaign, facilitated by a series of pauses in fighting agreed to by Israel, came after the highly infectious virus was found in sewage samples in the strip in June. Then in August, an 11-month-old boy became the first person in Gaza in 25 years to be diagnosed with polio.
