UNRWA head says polio campaign may be paused after IDF detained convoy

[Beastly Boy]

7. Your article is dated today, 1:03 am. My article is (up)dated today, 10:05 am EDT.

Eight hours span between the two. What kind of a delay can there possibly be? Say something stupid, take a nap and wake up to the news that you said something stupid eight hours ago?

Even if Reuters published its article at exactly the same time the first vaccination occurred, this would have been 5 pm local time.

That's the delay?

And you are only speculating that this may or may not have been the delay attributable to this convoy. And, considering the multitude of other potential reasons, it is highly unlikely that it was, even in the most hypothetical of terms.

BTW, the start of the final stage of the vaccination campaign was scheduled for TODAY, no precise time frame specified. It started TODAY. It was reported TODAY. This DOES mean there were no delays, whether due to the convoy being stopped or the aforementioned multitude of other reasons, and contrary to what Mr. Lazzarini ventured to speculate on.

That's more than enough to conclude that the convoy in question had no bearing on the scheduled vaccinations. And given UNRWA record of employing Hamas operatives, delaying the single convoy suspected of transporting a Hamas operative is more than justified. If Mr Lazzarini wants no delays, he better make sure he doesn't get caught red handed employing Hamas operatives.
