Palestinians desperately await COVID-19 vaccine

Al Jazeera  

The cash-strapped PA is forced to fend for itself as Israel excludes Palestinians in occupied territories from its COVID-19 vaccination programme. Ramallah, occupied West Bank – Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu received a coronavirus vaccine jab on December 19, kicking off a national roll-out that has made Israel the world’s COVID-19 vaccination drive leader. But while Israel’s vaccination campaign even includes Jewish settlers living deep inside the illegally occupied West Bank, it will exclude the nearly five million Palestinians living under occupation there or in the blockaded Gaza Strip. “Each day without the vaccine means more infections, more people admitted to hospitals, more deaths and high costs,” Majdi Dheir, a senior health ministry official in Gaza, told Al Jazeera. But Israel’s coordinator of government activities in the occupied Palestinian territories, COGAT, told Al Jazeera that fighting COVID-19 in the West Bank and acquiring vaccines is the PA’s obligation under the Oslo Accords.
