STORYLINE
Palestinians in Gaza began a limited COVID-19 vaccination programme on Monday after receiving doses donated by Russia and the United Arab Emirates, but a wider campaign could be further off as health officials await larger shipments.
The Gaza health ministry sent out text messages to urge those eligible to come and get their shots.
