Under the Israeli occupation, the Gaza Strip is considered the largest open-air prison in the world. Since 2006, the Gaza Strip has been enduring a strict air, sea and ground siege imposed by Israel and Egypt, and backed by the international community, mainly the Western powers and the US. This coastal enclave has undergone several Israeli offensives, including three major ones during the time of the siege.The Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza has launched an urgent appeal worth $23 million and has announced that it needs to increase the free ICU beds from 74 to 100, as well as to increase its respirators from 70 to 100, pointing out this is the least required facilities that would help it cope with a possible coronavirus outbreak.
