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.
