Authorities in Gaza today confirmed the first two cases of novel coronavirus, identifying them as Palestinians who had traveled to Pakistan and were being held in quarantine since their return. The United Nations has warned that a COVID-19 outbreak in Gaza could be disastrous, given the high poverty rates and weak health system in the coastal strip under Israeli blockade since 2007.
