Gaza’s health minister Mai Alkaila, says the Israeli occupation authorities have banned the entry of COVID-19 vaccines into the Strip.
In a statement, the health minister held the Israeli occupation authorities responsible for this arbitrary procedure, which she stressed is contrary to all customs, laws, and international agreements.
Wafa Palestine News & Info Agency reports that Alkaila says the ministry sent 2,000 doses of the Russian Sputnik-V vaccine to the Gaza Strip, but the occupation refused to let the vaccines into the coastal enclave.
She says the doses were intended for medical staff working in the intensive care units designated for Coronavirus patients, and the teams working in emergency departments.
Alkaila says the government and the Health Ministry are communicating with international organizations to pressure Israel to allow the entry of vaccines as quickly as possible into the Strip.
