Gaza—home to nearly 2 million people—has confirmed cases of COVID-19 with currently only 60 respirators and 2,800 hospital beds.
After 13 years of embargo, war, and bombings by Israel, Palestinians in Gaza face a severe shortage of resources and medical personnel. Health officials warn that containment and treatment under the Israeli blockade will be nearly impossible.
Come ready to make signs, listen to music, tweet, and take action!
