Sputnik V doses were intended for ICU staff, says Palestinian Authority. Israeli security source says decision is pending
Palestinian officials have accused Israel of preventing a vital first shipment of 2,000 coronavirus vaccines intended for frontline health workers from entering the blockaded Gaza Strip.
The Palestinian Authority said a planned transfer of Russian Sputnik V inoculations to the coastal enclave, which is geographically disconnected from the West Bank where the authority is headquartered, was blocked on Monday at an Israeli checkpoint.
