Palestinian tribes in Hebron asked to help stem the spike in COVID-19 cases - Al Monitor
The Palestinian Ministry of Health had announced July 4 that 2,576 out of the 4,013 Palestinians who had tested positive for the coronavirus come from the Hebron district. During the same period, nine out of the 16 deaths from the coronavirus also came from Hebron. Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh sent four Cabinet ministers to Hebron to assess the situation.
Hashlamoun told Al-Monitor that when he noticed the spike in cases, he took the initiative to try and stop the spread through his own family tribe. “Our family belongs to the Ayoubi tribe, and we have a council of elders and a young council. I am active in our tribal affairs because of the need to raise awareness and to address problems from a humanitarian view.”
