The Gaza strip has Corona cases
It turns out even the Gaza strip, ruled as it is by Hamas, isn't safe from the wrath of the Coronavirus:
Update: this report says at least 9 official cases have been identified.
Update 2: even in the PLO-controlled areas, there's been quite an outbreak, and now, it's been reported that a woman in Biddu died of the illness.
The Hamas-run Awqaf and Religious Affairs Ministry decided on Tuesday to close all mosques in the Gaza Strip as authorities intensify efforts to prevent the spread of the coronavirus in the coastal enclave.Well they've been asking for it. When you have a modern day Sodom/Gomorrah sunk in such evil as the Religion of Peace, it only figures that sooner or later, they'll meet a most interesting form of divine punishment for it. Now, they're paying a heavy price for all the anti-Israelism they've specialized in for so long.
The first confirmed cases of the virus emerged in Gaza late last Saturday when two Palestinian preachers who recently traveled in Pakistan, tested positive for coronavirus.
The two were held at a quarantine facility before being diagnosed with the disease and were then transferred to a special field hospital at the Rafah border crossing with Egypt, according to the Hamas-run Health Ministry.
“It was decided to shut all mosques in Gaza temporarily and halt Friday and group prayers in them for two weeks starting at dawn on Wednesday,” the Awqaf Ministry said in statement. [...]
Gaza’s Health Ministry said 1367 Palestinians in the Strip were in home quarantine, while 1430 were isolated in special facilities around the territory.
Of those in the facilities, 29 came close to the pair infected with the virus, Ashraf al-Qidra, the ministry’s spokesman, said on Sunday.
In early March, Abdelnaser Soboh, the head of the World Health Organization’s sub-office in Gaza, said the territory’s health infrastructure would not be able to handle hundreds or thousands of cases of the virus.
“The health system in Gaza is already shaky and barely functioning. It cannot take on the burden of a large number of cases,” he told The Times of Israel, warning that such a scenario could contribute to its collapse.
Update: this report says at least 9 official cases have been identified.
Update 2: even in the PLO-controlled areas, there's been quite an outbreak, and now, it's been reported that a woman in Biddu died of the illness.
