UN chief 'very concerned' about delayed polio vaccination campaign in Gaza

UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres said he is “very concerned" about delays in the next phase of Gaza's polio vaccination campaign. 

"I am very concerned about the postponement of the latest phase of the polio vaccination campaign in northern Gaza as a result of escalating violence & a lack of access," Guterres wrote on X. 

"We must stop the polio outbreak before more children are paralyzed and poliovirus spreads further".
