Vaccinations in Israel/Palestine: Inequality in the Fight against COVID

Podcast episode featuring Yara M. Asi and Yousef Munayyer as they discuss the significant gap in COVID-19 vaccination access between Israelis and Palestinians in the occupied territories, highlighting how Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza were largely excluded from Israel’s early vaccine rollout. It argues that this disparity exposes structural discrimination and calls for Israel to fulfill its legal obligations by ensuring non-discriminatory access to vital healthcare. This discussion is helpful for context on the blockade and siege of Gaza, public health, the coronavirus pandemic, and the Occupied Palestinian Territories.
