Dr. Abu Rea, an epidemiologist in Gaza, told the media that every patient in the ICU (intensive care unit) needs 20 liters of oxygen per minute, and there are no oxygen stations in the entire Gaza Strip. The pressure on the viral laboratories in the Gaza Strip is very high as the new coronavirus test kits are almost exhausted.
The spokesman for the Interior and Security Department in the Gaza Strip said on 15 March that, in order to control the ongoing spread of the neo-coronavirus epidemic, the authorities were prepared to impose stricter restrictions and heavy fines on those who violated the rules.
