israel says it will begin vaccinating palestinians but only those working in illegal settlements in the occupied west bank the country has faced criticism for excluding gaza and the west bank from its speedy coronavirus vaccine rollout sorry for that joins us now by skype from west drusilla mhairi so what exactly is this announcement can you explain this for us. yes well this is something that has been in the work we understood for sometimes some time rather there were talks between israeli and palestinian authorities last weekend and it is going to be vaccines both for palestinian workers who work inside israeli settlements illegal israeli settlements in the occupied west bank and workers who have licenses that allow them to come in to work inside israel proper as well so we're talking about a number in excess of 120000 palestinians and the israeli military that operates inside the occupied west bank known as co get it announced that this

would start in the coming days that there would be a full plan announced in the coming days but from what they're already saying we understand that modern of vaccines of which israel has a pretty large unused stock will be used and that vaccination stations will be set up inside industrial zones inside the occupied west bank and that crossing points into israel as well know israel has of course enjoyed quite a lot of criticism from human rights groups and others about the very fast pace of vaccine roll out within israel compared to what remains an almost entirely unvaccinated population in the occupied west bank and gaza the palestinian foreign ministry criticized israel on that front the palestinian health ministry maintain that it was its own responsibility to source and vaccinate source vaccines and vaccinate its population so what we do know is that now at least $120000.00

palestinians with access into israel and into illegal settlements they should be vaccinated in the coming weeks ok but what about all of the vest of the palestinians where might their vaccines come from. well so far the numbers are exceptionally small what we know is that israel gave some 2000 vaccines to the palace in north already some weeks ago to help with vaccinating frontline health workers another 10000 came into the occupied west bank from russia the sputnik vaccine 2000 of those were given to gaza and another 20000 came in from the united arab emirates through egypt into gaza that was the sputnik vaccine once more as for the rest of the nearly 5000000 population of the west bank and gaza well the international kovacs alliance the donor group has committed to at least vaccinating

20 percent of the need of those people and the palestinians are looking to source vaccines from elsewhere as well but the 1st tranche of the oxford astra zeneca vaccine is coming in through that kovacs scheme there are due to get in in early march that's more than 20000 and there is a major spike a 3rd surge going on going on under way in the occupied west bank as we speak ok thank you for that update there harry foresaid live for us and western. still ahead on al-jazeera mixing and matching to tame cars at 19 we'll tell you about a unique trial under way in the u.k. . barrie you are. what is. when we see the. u.s. vice president talks to the 1st african-american astronaut in a month from the national space station.

clinics like this one will have to serve as main back to the hub at least for now but this fight meager resources help workers here tell us they are ready and all they're waiting for now is for the coronavirus vaccines to actually arrive the government says it expects to vaccinate 25 percent of its 110000000 people by the end of this year but while other countries have started in occupations vaccines have not even the right in the philippines been on our feet but almost 24 hours a day. it's very exhausting. not the solution to the fund any surely we offer a very significant solution to this. still the prospect of them provides hope to millions of filipinos already weary of the pen demick jim duggan al-jazeera. province northern philippines the world's
