Israeli authorities continued to delay transferring a consignment of Russian COVID-19 vaccines to Gaza on Tuesday, despite a formal request by the Palestinian Authority to send the shipment from Ramallah to the coastal enclave.
The Palestinian Authority Health Minister Mai Alkaila said Monday that Israel bore “full responsibility” for blocking the delivery of 2,000 doses of Russia’s Sputnik V vaccine that were acquired by the PA. Israeli health official Asher Salmon told the Knesset on Monday that Israel had only received a request to transfer 1,000 doses.

Around 40 percent of Palestinians tested for coronavirus antibodies came back positive, according to the preliminary findings of a large-scale report by the Palestinian Authority.
Researchers took 6,000 blood samples from Palestinians in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. According to the World Health Organization, the preliminary findings suggest that an estimated 40% of the Palestinian population has coronavirus-related antibodies.
The PA Health Ministry, the Palestinian National Institute of Public Health (PNIPH), and the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics conducted the survey with support from the WHO, which provided antibody testing kits.
