A nurse was the first to be immunised at a hospital in Khayelitsha township in Cape Town, just hours after the first batch of 80,000 doses landed in the country late Tuesday.

After delay, Israel allows vaccines into Hamas-run Gaza

The Palestinian Authority sent the first shipment of coronavirus vaccines to the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip on Wednesday, two days after accusing Israel of preventing it from dispatching the doses amid objections from some Israeli lawmakers.

Palestinian Health Minister Mai Alkaila said in a statement that the PA sent 2,000 doses of the Russian Sputnik V vaccine. An Associated Press photographer in Gaza saw the shipment arrive midday at the Kerem Shalom crossing.
