BBC World Service - BBC OS, Coronavirus conversations: Gaza

Rising cases threaten to overwhelm the Palestinian territory's healthcare system

Rising numbers of coronavirus cases threaten to overwhelm the healthcare system in the Palestinian territory of Gaza. We'll speak to people who live there about their experience of the pandemic, as well as getting context from a BBC journalist.

We continue to get questions from around the world on Covid-19 vaccines, after Monday’s announcement of successful results in trials by the University of Oxford. We’ll have one of our regular coronavirus experts, Dr Isaac Bogoch, on hand to answer them.

And we’ll explain the situation of the thousands of Ethiopians who have crossed the border into Sudan to escape conflict in Tigray. They’re fleeing a region where the UN now says emergency relief supplies are running out.
