| Demand Israel Protect Gaza Palestinians in — Lift the Blockade, Make Medical Supplies Accessible | | IfNotNow - 1.8 million Palestinians in the occupied Gaza Strip
appear to be on the precipice of catastrophe — and the Israeli
government, which controls what goes in and out of Gaza, has a
responsibility to act now. Palestinians in Gaza must now weather the
Coronavirus in addition to the punishing, 15-year-long Israeli
blockade. The international community must do everything it can to
protect everyone in the world from this pandemic — and this must
include the stateless Palestinians in Gaza, whose lives are
controlled by the Israeli military.If there was ever a moment to
realize that we are in this fight together, it is now.[ak]

| Coronavirus in the Gaza Strip - Only 70 ICU Beds Available | | - Physicians for Human Rights Israel (PHRI) - Last Sunday, the first
two cases of COVID-19 were discovered in the Gaza Strip. This is
exactly the scenario authorities in the Gaza Strip have been trying
to avert for weeks by strictly monitoring and isolating people
returning to the Strip, preventing gatherings and shutting down
schools. Now that the virus has entered Gaza, they must adjust to a
new reality of community transmission.
This is a particularly ominous prospect given Gaza’s unique
predicament, an area under occupation and siege with a health care
system already plagued by severe shortages of funds, medical
equipment, medicine, and staff, and it raises several concerns
regarding preparedness for the coronavirus.
Will Gaza’s health care system be able to stem the spread of the
virus? [ak] | 24/3/2020 |

"It is no exaggeration to say that the prospect of COVID-19
spreading in the Gaza Strip is terrifying. This year, 2020, is the
year in which the United Nations and other international agencies
predicted that Gaza would become “uninhabitable.” If Israel’s 13-
year blockade and isolation of the strip continued, they warned,
Gaza’s most basic services and its capacity to sustain itself would
collapse." ca | 23/3/2020 |

| Coronavirus causes riots in the Gaza Strip | | Palestinian Center for Human Rights, Gaza - Authorities in the Gaza
Strip ordered all returnees from abroad via Rafah Border Crossing to
be placed in a mandatory quarantine at al-Nasser village, northeast
of Rafah City - as a precautionary measure to prevent the outbreak
of Coronavirus (COVID-19). The villages`s schools of Ghassan
Kanafani and Marmarah were taken over to serve as quarantine
centers. On Sunday March 15, hundreds of al-Nasser villagers held a
peaceful protest against this measure and were forcibly disperesd by
Gazan security forces. Some ten citizens, including a child and a
woman, sustained fractures and bruises all over their bodies and
about 50 citizens, including 15 children, were arrested - some at
the protest itself and some taken later from their homes. PCHR
affirms the security forces’ right to enforce their decision,
particularly in this stage and in light of the state of emergency
declared by the Palestinian President to avoid the outbreak of
Coronavirus; however, it stresses that the authorities should adhere
to the proportionality standards for use of force and the
regulations on the use of firearms in all circumstances. [ak] | 17/3/2020 |
