Gaza warns of Covid-19 'catastrophe'
GAZA, OCCUPIED PATESTINIAN TERRITORIES, 24 Nov. - (ANA) - Authorities in Israeli-occupied Gaza have warned of a Covid-19 "disaster". "We have entered the catastrophe stage," Gaza health minister Fathi Abuwarda told Al Jazeera Monday.
"What in April was a scary possibility now is likely to become reality," a UN official told EUobserver on the Gaza outbreak.
The densely-populated territory is home to 2 million people, but 79 of the 100 ventilators available for coronavirus suffers are already taken up. - (ANA) -
