No developed or underdeveloped country has escaped the catastrophe that the Corona epidemic has caused worldwide. Israel is also the most talented country in the world. The country has already exceeded 18,000 infected and 254 people have died. But how about a weak Palestinian occupied by Israel?
As of yesterday, no new crown patients were found in Palestine for four days in a row. The country’s health minister, Mai Alkaila, said: “There are currently 548 people infected with Cavid-19 in Palestine. Of these, 355 are in the West Bank, 20 in Gaza and 162 in occupied East Jerusalem.” And only 2 people died. But there are no deaths in the Israeli-occupied Gaza Strip.
This comparative image shows that Palestine is in a much better position than Israel in terms of attacks and deaths. The country’s first state of emergency was declared two months ago to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. Right now ordinary people are asked to stay home without any urgent need. Furthermore, the border with Israel and Jordan was closed.
Currently, to protect the economy, the West Bank has had the opportunity to launch some businesses easing the restrictions, but the state of emergency will remain until June 5. Mosques, educational institutions and all kinds of public gatherings will be closed at this time. Ibrahim Melhem, spokesman for the Palestinian Authority in Ramallah, said: “All religious and social activities are now headed home. The government has raised awareness among ordinary people and imposed restrictions on the movement. Everyone washes their hands to ensure the cleaning.
On the other hand, the general public is raising awareness in Gaza, which is in a very fragile state in terms of health infrastructure and the economy. The people of Gaza are trying to protect themselves from the Crown. Some are making masks out of leaves, some out of bottles, or out of pieces of tin and cloth. What has caught the attention of the world.
The area, which has been under Israeli siege for 13 years, is one of the most densely populated areas in the world. As a result, there is a high risk of propagating the crown here. Even so, having one is still out of the reach of the average person. A spokesman for the Gaza Interior Ministry, Iyad al-Bajam, said: “Various measures have been taken to guarantee social distance to prevent the crown from spreading. People are also helping.” Ashraf al-Qidra, a spokesman for the Gaza health ministry, said: “The first crown was identified on March 22. Since then we launched the” Stay Home “campaign. Residents leave in an emergency, but stick to the distance social and wear masks. ‘
