John --
A COVID-19 outbreak is erupting in Gaza. Already, the besieged enclave is dealing with air strikes from Israeli warplanes, insufficient electricity, a lack of clean drinking water, and fragile healthcare system. Because of the blockade, Gaza only has access to 200 coronavirus test kits per day and 90 ventilators. So far, 145 COVID-19 cases have been identified in Gaza and three people have died.
Join the discussion this morning at 10 AM ET live from the ground with We Are Not Numbers writers and activists Hanan Abu Kmail, Mona Msaddar, and Basman Derawi.

Hanan Abu Kmail is a medical intern with a special interest in oncology research. Since the COVID-19 outbreak began worldwide, she has been educating the public in Gaza about the pandemic and helping manufacture 3D masks.
Mona Msaddar <[link removed]> has worked as an English trainer for more than three years. She loves her students and feels she is responsible for giving them the best she can of her personality and knowledge. She is the kind of person who always tries more than her best to achieve her dreams and to stand by her principles. She sees herself as a poet, which is why she listens deeply to her heart. "No matter how hard life is, the solution always lies in two words: TRY and BELIEVE."
Basman Derawi <[link removed]>, 26, was born in Kuwait and lived there for two years before coming to Gaza. A physiotherapist for the Ministry of Health, he graduated from Al-Azhar University in 2010. He thinks of writing as a remedy--a tool that can change the world and be used as resistance. Basman began drafting stories a year ago and is inspired by music, movies, and people with special needs. One of his dreams as a Palestinian is to share and show Palestinians' real faces as they struggle and work for their rights. He also loves to read, cook, and play video games and basketball.
The webinar will be facilitated by our own Ariel Gold <[link removed]>
We Are Not Numbers <[link removed]>is an organization that mentors writers in Gaza to tell their stories, aiming to humanize the Palestinian struggle.
In solidarity,
Ariel and the entire CODEPINK team!
