The Palestinian Authority (PA) on Monday accused Israel of holding up the delivery of COVID-19 vaccines into Gaza.

A PA official told the Reuters news agency that the PA tried to send 2,000 doses of Russia’s Sputnik V vaccine to Gaza on Monday, but that Israel stopped the shipment at a checkpoint “and informed the Palestinians there was no approval to continue to Gaza.”
