STORYLINE
People flock markets and shopping malls as they shop for food and new clothings in preparation for Eid al Fitr holiday that marks the end of Ramadan, the holiest month in Islamic calendar.
Gaza is currently facing a worrying increase in the number of people with COVID-19, warned Doctors Without Borders in a statement.
Between March and April, COVID-19 infections have risen at an extraordinary rate, from less than a thousand reported cases a week to over a thousand reported each day, with an alarming increase in infections among healthcare workers. This second wave has already surpassed the first in its severity and in the number of infected patients, and hospitals are struggling to cope, it said.
