Local virus cases in Gaza raise fears of a wider outbreak

Authorities in the Gaza Strip on Monday announced the first coronavirus cases spread through the community, raising fears of a potentially devastating outbreak in the impoverished Palestinian territory blockaded by Israel and Egypt. Until now, all the cases reported in Gaza were linked to quarantine facilities for residents returning from abroad. The Health Ministry said four people from the same family have tested positive for the virus in central Gaza and investigations were underway to track the source of the infection.
