“Confined” water on Mars … new research from NASA refutes existing theory

An expedition for a Bahraini team to the summit of Mount Everest in Nepal, carrying around two thousand doses of vaccines against the emerging corona virus, but the first person in charge of drugs in this country suffering from the pandemic does not know.

Local and international newspapers reported that a team of around 15 climbers belonging to the Bahraini Royal Guard arrived at Kathmandu airport on Monday in a special Bahrain Defense Force aircraft.

The Kathmandu Post of Nepal says the Royal Guard team successfully climbed Mount Mansell, which stands 8125 meters high, last year, and intended to climb to the top of Mount Everest this time around. .

The British Guardian newspaper reported that the team led by Sheikh Muhammad Hamad Muhammad Al Khalifa continued this “donation” of doses of “AstraZeneca” vaccine to vaccinate around a thousand inhabitants of the village of “Smagoon” located near heights called the “Royal Summit of Bahrain”.

Sheikh Nasser bin Hamad Al Khalifa, National Security Advisor and Commander of the Royal Guard, wrote on Instagram: “Today we left the nation’s pride in its mission to the summit of Everest and it will take 79 days, God willing. Before climbing to the top, they will climb the top of the Bahrain Mountains in Nepal. 1000 people are vaccinated living in the shade of this mountain which bears the name of our dear kingdom. “

In another post, he confirmed that the doses will be delivered in the coming days, under the leadership of the Nepalese Minister of Health.

But the move surprised Nepal’s director of medicines, who told the local newspaper “kathmandu post” that he was not aware of the arrival of vaccines in the country.

Bharat Bhattari, director general of the drug department, said: “We deployed a team of drug inspectors to investigate how vaccines were introduced into the country without any prior approval … We did not know that the vaccines were imported from Bahrain. “

He said anyone who imports vaccines into the country “should do so through official channels to ensure that the cold chain and safety requirements are met.”

It should be noted that the Nepalese embassy in Manama published on Monday, via its Facebook account, photos of the departure of the Bahraini team with vaccinations.
