Palestinian children collect scrap from a garbage dump in the Bedouin village of "Umm Al-Nasr" in the northern Gaza Strip, on December 9, 2020. When the COVID-19 pandemic struck worldwide, humanitarian organizations in the Gaza Strip sounded the alarm, warning against a health catastrophe that could hit tens of thousands of people. The Strip's high population density, weak healthcare system, and lingering crises did not bode well for efforts to mitigate the health impacts of a possible virus outbreak. Now fears are greater than ever after cases of COVID-19 were detected among members of the community in late August, triggering local authorities to impose a new lockdown. Photo by mohammed salem
