Jerusalem: The Palestinian Authority said Wednesday it will receive just over 60,000 coronavirus vaccine doses over the next 48 hours, the first shipment provided by a World Health Organization partnership aimed at helping poor countries.
That’s only enough doses to vaccinate 31,000 people out of a population of nearly 5 million Palestinians in the Israeli-occupied West Bank and Gaza.
Israel, which has faced criticism for not sharing more of its supplies with the Palestinians, has already vaccinated 5 million people more than half of its population and has largely reopened its economy.
