Abed emphasized, according to what Palestinian media reported, that the risk of distribution exists in the light of the continuation of the war, and the deprivation of the population of public hygiene instruments, warns that any delay in providing vaccines “would have mainly health conditions, and will have serious consequences for children’s health and poor segments such as elderly and patients.”
