Around 1,000 new infections are announced daily by the
National Center for Disease Control, posing a challenge to a health sector
ravaged by years of conflict.
"It is the first drop of rain. Thank God, we are able
to supply the first batch of corona vaccine," interim Prime Minister
Abdulhamid Dbeibeh said in a tweet.
"The rest of the shipment will arrive in
succession," he added, without giving details of how many more doses were
due.
A box of the vaccine was shown being unloaded from a cargo
plane in a social media post by the health ministry, saying it would be moved
to the ministry's warehouses before distribution.
