Israel to Allow 1,000 COVID-19 Vaccines into Gaza (VIDEO)

The move has come under criticism from some Israeli officials who have called on authorities to condition the transfer of the vital medication on the release of Israeli prisoners of war held in the besieged Gaza Strip.

On Monday, the IDF blocked the shipment of "2000 doses" to Gaza. I assume that there are two doses per vaccine? This would mean that the entire shipment of 2000 doses = 1000 vaccines is now being let through.

      Yeah I know right. The use of the term "allow" really peeved me too.

    They fucking stole half the vaccines?

    Giving me flashbacks to when the US Navy was seizing shipments of medical supplies destined for other countries early last year.

      No I don't think so. It says "2000 doses" but I'm quite sure each vaccine is made up of two doses, so 2000 doses = 1000 vaccines. But Israel using the vaccines as a political weapon is still shit.
