Covid: Dominic Raab calls for global ceasefires to allow for vaccinations

 

this subject was on BBC News this morning, it cheered me up thinking of it as one more step leading to P&S.  just my hbb opinion : )

 

On Wednesday, Mr Raab will attend a meeting of the UN Security Council where he is expected to to warn that failing to support global vaccinations will increase the risk of new variants, and new waves of the virus, emerging.

In addition to calling for ceasefires, he will stress the importance of overcoming logistical barriers to vaccine delivery such as storage and supply lines.

     «On 1 July last year, the Security Council adopted Resolution 2532 on fighting COVID-19 in the most vulnerable countries. Further action is needed now by the Council to call for ceasefires specifically to enable COVID vaccines to be carried out in those areas so badly affected by conflict.

That’s why we are proposing a new Resolution for the Council’s consideration.»
