Two cases of coronavirus were reported in the Gaza Strip, Palestine. Two million Palestinians live there, confined to 364 sq km since Zionism is occupying their lands and has expelled them from their homes, condemning them to live in that “open-air prison”, due to the siege of Zionism and its constant attacks on the Gaza Strip. The conditions of misery that are lived there are terrible, such as the almost non-existent drinking water network, the lack of essential goods, fuel shortages and permanent electricity cuts.
In these containment and misery conditions imposed by Zionism, coronavirus’ disease will proliferate to a large number of infected in a short time, and possibly the death rate will be extremely high, because in addition, hospitals in Gaza have a very low budget for medication and basic supplies, and its infrastructure is less than insufficient. There is only one hospital bed per 1,000 people and only 62 ventilators in the entire strip.
The Palestinian Authority, with Al Fatah ahead, from the West Bank, has ordered the mandatory total quarantine. But the conditions of overcrowding and misery remain the same, and will continue to be as long as Zionism continues occupying Palestinian lands.
To stop the coronavirus and have decent housing and health conditions, Palestinian land must be recovered for the Palestinians. For the destruction of the Zionist-fascist state of Israel! For a free, secular, democratic and non-racist Palestine, with capital in Jerusalem, from the Jordan River to the sea! This can only be conquered by the struggle of the Palestinian people with their organizations, recovering their weapons, in the same fight from Gaza, the West Bank and the entire diaspora against the Zionist occupier, together with the revolutions in Lebanon, Iraq and the resistance of the masses in Idlib and Iran.
Throughout Maghreb and the Middle East, the same intifada!
