On June 30th, the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) signed a grant agreement with the Palestinian Authority in Ramallah, to provide grant aid of up to 897 million yen for the Programme for COVID-19 Crisis Response Emergency Support.
The program aims to establish an effective and safe vaccination system to improve the vaccination rate in Palestine and contain a further spread of COVID-19, through providing cold chain equipment such as refrigerated vaccine transport vehicles as promptly as possible.
