Occupied Palestine (QNN)- The Israeli ministry of health on Friday announced the first coronavirus death in the occupation state.
The patient, an 88-year-old man, was hospitalized and placed in the quarantine unit for the coronavirus patients at Shaare Tzedek Medical Center in occupied Jerusalem about a week ago. He arrived in severe condition, and was reported to have had been suffering from a number of underlying conditions.
According to the Israeli Health Ministry’s latest figures, released midday Friday, there have been 705 confirmed cases of the coronavirus in the occupation state, with 9 people in serious condition.
An Israeli group, whose founder supported US President Donald Trump’s plan to forcibly displace Palestinians from Gaza and was founded by soldiers and former intelligence officers, was behind last year’s flights that facilitated the travel of hundreds of Palestinians from the war-torn Strip and landed in South Africa and Indonesia, an AP investigation has found.
Israel is reportedly planning to further restrict the entry of aid into the war-torn Gaza Strip, despite the so-called ceasefire and amid an already severe humanitarian crisis after two years of genocide.
