Gaza is in the middle of the storm and facing the Corona crisis - By Sri Al-Kidwa, Al-Sabah

 

 

I hesitated to write about the reality of the Coronavirus in the Gaza Strip, especially that the whole world is still witnessing a wide spread of the epidemic, but the Gaza Strip has its own peculiarity and its complex conditions and my deep knowledge of the conditions and living conditions and the seriousness of the consequences of the spread of the deadly Corona epidemic in the Gaza Strip and the importance of addressing this file and the privacy that Gaza lives The largest crowded area in the world, where citizens face a series of critical and deep crises, and at the forefront of these crises that our people are experiencing is the electricity crisis that has been going on for nearly thirteen years, as electricity has not been delivered continuously at all, and today most of the residents live in these special conditions and deal with great difficulty with the shortage The acute in electricity, while the first requirement to confront this dreaded virus is the necessity of the presence of electricity, which is politically linked to the provision of water permanently, and today with the ability of the Corona virus to penetrate the barriers of containment as it began to spread rapidly among the population and became the largest number vulnerable to infection and quicklyAs a result of overpopulation and the proximity and congestion nature of the areas in the cities, villages and camps of the Gaza Strip.
 
 
 
Most of the residents of the Gaza Strip live under severe pressures, and everyone feels constant tension, and most of the population gets electricity for only four hours during the twenty-four hours, and this increases everyone's fears that the danger has begun to come to all members of society and that the homes in themselves are not safe anymore as conditions worsen The spread of the virus, which threatens the fate of the population, in light of the continued imposition of a comprehensive siege on the Gaza Strip by the Israeli occupation authorities.
 
 
 
In practice, Gaza was able to withstand the virus by following the instructions of the ban and imposing special programs to quarantine travelers to and from the Strip, but with the spread of the virus and, according to what appears to be, the map of the epidemic spread of the virus has changed with the announcement of cases of infection and death outside the quarantine centers in the Gaza Strip. .
 
 
 
In light of this epidemiological spread and the change of the previous equation, the health system in the Gaza Strip will not and will not be able to deal with more than a few dozen patients with Coronavirus, as the treatment of Corona patients requires many medical and laboratory equipment, special supplies and medicines, which are often not available in hospitals and health centers. In sufficient quantities to take more patients.
 
 
 
Therefore, social responsibility is important now in order to limit the spread of this deadly epidemic, and our people in the Gaza Strip must show concern and vigilance and the need to adhere to and adhere to the programs for combating the epidemic, and everyone should be especially careful to perform their role according to their location, especially at this critical stage to prevent the spread of the disease On a larger scale and the need to work by everyone to strictly comply with preventive measures while complying with instructions, and this is a matter of great importance at this stage of concern, and at the same time it is imperative for international parties to provide the necessary protection and full support for the Palestinian people and to overcome internal divisions, especially In the field of health, education and the embodiment of the elements of support, strength, union and functional integration away from the causes of division and in order to serve our people who are in dire need of support, assistance, guidance, cooperation and exchange of experiences in these critical circumstances that the Gaza Strip is going through.
