COVID-19 pandemic in the State of Palestine

The COVID-19 pandemic was confirmed to have spread to the West Bank on 5 March 2020, beginning the COVID-19 pandemic in Palestine.[1] The Palestinian health ministry said the cases had first been detected at a hotel in the Bethlehem area, where a group of Greek tourists had visited the hotel in late February, with two later diagnosed with the virus.[2]

Israel confiscated tents, some destined for a field hospital for Khirbet Ibzik, in late March,[3][4] and blocked the construction of another in an early phase of construction on private Palestinian land in Hebron, where the emergency is intense, on the grounds that it lacks an Israeli building permit.[4] The senior United Nations official in the region told the Security Council in a 23 April videoconference meeting that Israelis and Palestinians are cooperating in unprecedented ways to deal with the pandemic but that Israel must do more to safeguard the health of all people under its control.[5]

According to analysis by Haaretz as of 22 July 2020, there is concern that a combination of events may conspire to cause the situation to spin out of control. Following the severing of security coordination and civilian ties with Israel, Palestinians stopped coordinating the treatment of patients with Israel, stopped accepting mail and packages through Israeli ports and severed coordination with the IDF as well as with Shin Bet. Supervision of border crossings with Israel has also ceased. On top of this, the dispute with Israel over tax revenues is having a serious economic impact.[6][7]

The first two cases in Gaza City, Gaza were diagnosed on 21 March and there are 11 active cases and one death as of 16 August 2020. The Hebron district is an epicenter and there are 4,111 active cases as of the same date, 86 persons having died.[8]

Background

On 12 January 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) confirmed that a novel coronavirus was the cause of a respiratory illness in a cluster of people in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China, which was reported to the WHO on 31 December 2019.[9][10] The case fatality ratio for COVID-19 has been much lower than SARS of 2003,[11][12] but the transmission has been significantly greater, with a significant total death toll.[13][11]

Outbreaks

Bethlehem

The city of Bethlehem became the first to experience an outbreak with confirmed cases in early March. The City of Bethlehem was locked down on March 7 as 16 cases of infection were found in the West Bank, including nine cases in Bethlehem.[14]

Palestinian refugee camps

The crowded Palestinian refugee camps face a grave threat if coronavirus spreads.[15] On April 22, a Palestinian from Syria became the first case reported in a refugee camp, located in the Wavel refugee camp in Bekaa, Lebanon.[16][17] On April 24, the Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates (FAE) confirmed 4 more cases in Al-Jalil refugee camp, raising the total to five.[18]

Overall excluding East Jerusalem

East Jerusalem
East Jerusalem Hospital Network

According to WHO, cases from East Jerusalem are managed by the East Jerusalem Hospitals Network (EJHN) and hospitals in Israel and 10 testing centres were opened by Israeli health authorities in Shuafat, Shuafat refugee camp, Silwan, Sur Baher, Jabal Mukaber, Beit Safafa, and Jerusalem.[19] EJHN includes six hospitals: Makassed Islamic Charitable Society Hospital, Augusta Victoria Hospital, Palestine Red Crescent Society Hospital, St John of Jerusalem Eye Hospital Group, Jerusalem Princess Basma Centre, and Saint Joseph Hospital.[20] In September 2018 the U.S. cut $25 million in funding, representing 40% of costs for these hospitals.[21]

Israeli officials have expressed concern that the virus might spread in Arab neighborhoods of East Jerusalem that are part of municipal Jerusalem but on the far side of the West Bank barrier. Kafr Aqab, which has 60–70,000 residents, and Shuafat Refugee Camp with around 80,000 have not been receiving a sufficient level of services.[22]

On 20 May 2020, it was announced that the European Union (€13 million), Finland (€3 million), and Italy (€1 million) are making a contribution totaling €17 million in support of the payment of medical referrals to East Jerusalem Hospitals.[23]

On 17 June 2020, the EU and WHO delivered personal protective equipment and medical items to the EJHN. The delivery includes personal protective equipment and disinfectant items for all six of the network's hospitals including 56,000 pairs of gloves; 10,000 surgical gowns and 1,600 overall gowns and 2,050 shoe covers and 100 medical protective goggles; 6,000 N-95 masks and 115,000 surgical masks and 4,100 face shields; 6,300 bottles of alcogel; 120 thermometers and 200 bottles of alcohol for disinfectant plus disinfectant spray and wipes.[24]

Between Monday, July 20 and Tuesday, July 21, 2020, East Jerusalem registered the highest number of cases since the beginning of the pandemic. Cases in East Jerusalem total 1,721, according to the Israeli Health Ministry and municipality. The IDF Home Front Command is in charge in East Jerusalem but since some residents go to Palestinian clinics for testing there is some uncertainty about total numbers.[lower-alpha 2] [25][lower-alpha 3]
