Old Gazan factory restored to produce protective suits amid pandemic
Amid fears of catastrophic consequences in case of a coronavirus outbreak in the besieged Gaza Strip, two Palestinians took the lead and started a factory to produce protective suits.
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — The Gaza Strip is facing major challenges, especially at the financial and medical levels, to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
On March 25, the government in Gaza announced that seven security officers have been infected with the coronavirus, adding that all of them had come in contact with the first two cases that had been recorded March 21.
The Hamas-run Ministry of Health added in a press statement that the seven new cases have been put in a special quarantine in the southern part of the coastal enclave.
"They didn't leave the quarantine area at the Rafah border crossing and they didn't mix with anyone from outside the quarantine center,” said the statement.
