The visit of the Minister of Health, Hamad Hassan, yesterday to Tripoli, 10 days after his last visit to it, gave an indication of the magnitude of the anxiety surrounding the second capital due to the extremely dangerous outbreak of the Coronavirus, and a Justified fear of the danger that lies ahead if the official and popular deal with the virus continues. Because what it is today is indifference and understatement.
Although Hassan attaches the utmost importance to the city of Tripoli today, he did not bring with him on his second visit anything more than a symbolic relief, which is 10,000 masks. Despite the need for urgent health support in the region, so far it has not received very little from the ministry, among which stands out the equipment of the government hospital with sufficient resuscitation rooms and laboratory test devices for pcr, since there is only a device provided by the city council. It also contains only 32 beds designated for those infected with the virus, which hardly meet the hospitalization needs of those infected, while the “four-bed” assistance provided by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees has yet to be completed. completed.
The head of the Disaster Management Committee in the municipality of Tripoli, Jamil Jablawi, confirmed: “We presented an integrated plan to the interested authorities to face the virus, but the administrative routine did not make them see the light.” Today in the forbidden ». He warned that the city “is today between two fires: the fire of the lack of preparation of the state and the provision of the necessary assistance to it from examination devices, laboratories and others, and the fire of the lack of commitment of citizens with the measures and the quarantine, due to the stressful life situation and the contempt of many for the dangerousness of the virus ”.
Jablawi sounded the alarm with the departure of Tripoli “from the stage of containment and general mobilization to the stage of herd immunity”, highlighting that “the number of people infected by the virus in Tripoli is much higher than declared, because of a sample of infected estimated at about 500 people, there are between 40 and 50 infected, that is. Between 8 and 10%, and if we remove this figure from the population of the city, this means that the number of injured in it is of at least 40,000, and not 1,200, according to the statistics of the Ministry of Health.
