Equal access to COVID-19 vaccines: Who is responsible in the occupied Palestinian territory?
MAP has released a position paper calling for rapid, comprehensive and equitable access to vaccines in the occupied Palestinian territory (oPt).
While Israel is rolling out one of the fastest vaccination programmes in the world, almost five million Palestinians living under its 53-year military occupation are being left behind. MAP’s position paper provides an overview of the dire COVID-19 context in Palestine; an analysis of the international legal responsibilities of Israel, the Palestinian authorities and international community with regards to Palestinian access to COVID-19 vaccines; and recommendations for action from governments like the UK to address the situation.
