*[Enwl-eng] This impoverished territory is swimming in COVID cases, with few resources

[ENWL]

            The Gaza Strip is drowning in COVID cases, with few resources to 
help struggling patients. International governments must help, now!

                  In the Palestinian territory of the Gaza Strip, the COVID 
situation just keeps getting worse. The impoverished area is home to a 
densely-packed two million people — but despite its huge population, the 
territory only has 100 ventilators, total. And already, 80 percent of those 
machines are being used for COVID-19 patients. Yet cases continue to rise, 
with no signs of plateauing. One young man, Ahmed Alnajar, explained to 
reporters: "Every single person in my family is infected, our neighbors, 
too. There is hardly a street where someone isn't infected." Experts there 
warn that "within a week, we will become unable to care for critical cases."

                  It's not an accident that Gaza's healthcare system is so 
strapped. The territory has been under a blockade for decades now, which has 
shattered these Palestinians' economy, restricted residents' movements and 
travel, and denied them of the extremely basic things any human needs to 
live — including adequate healthcare and hospital resources. Gazans can't be 
forced to reckon with this massively deadly virus all on their own. Tell the 
United States, Great Britain, and the United Nations to immediately send 
ventilators, effective treatments, and other necessary medical equipment to 
hospitals in the Gaza Strip!

                  Thank you for all that you do,

                         Miranda B.

                  P.S. We can't leave Gazans to watch as their loved ones 
sicken, struggle to breathe, and pass away. Demand that international 
governments step in to help provide life-saving resources!
