Hit hard by the coronavirus pandemic, Palestinians hope to roll out their vaccination campaign in early March.
But to date, the Palestinian Authority has not received a single dose of COVID-19 vaccine, and some residents say it hasn’t done enough to protect their health.
Aiming to rectify the situation, a top official is in Moscow to sign a deal to get the Russian Sputnik V vaccine. If all goes well, the Palestinians will be on track to get the first major vaccine shipment from Russia within weeks.
