(02) 04:00 My son was infected on the first day of Ramadan

My situation got worse. I was suffocating”

“The current situation is dangerous for everyone”

TEXT ON SCREEN COVID-19 cases
are rising
in the Gaza Strip.

The health system is under pressure, crippled by Israel’s
14-year economic blockade

Hospitals are full.
Some equipment and supplies
are running low.

Dr. Marwan Hamed Mustafa Al-Akkad -
Shuhada Al Aqsa Hospital 14 :22 “There is a case that we will now take to the intensive care unit
Two patients will possibly be transferred to other hospitals
This is because our clinical capacity is full, all of our beds are occupied by patients”
TEXT ON SCREEN Few COVID-19 vaccines have reached the Palestinian Territories.
Reluctance to being vaccinated also hinders the campaign.

As of April, only 5% of Palestinians
have received
a vaccine.

Walid Adbelbaset Al-Ruby, Nurse in covid department.
03:54 “The workload is affected by the fact that unfortunately, I have more than 4 team members infected with COVID-19

TEXT ON SCREEN Oxygen,
essential for treating
COVID-19 patients,
is limited.
And amidst the outbreak,
The economy is struggling.
Preventive measures
are often ignored,
despite the risks.

- Dr. Mohamed Mohsen
Al Aqsa Hospital “This is difficult because they need to be able to feed their children, there is a blockade and there is no money. These people need to go out to work.”
