The only society on EARTH that understands what permanent “lockdown,” “quarantine” and “shelter-in-place” means are in the Gaza Strip.
But they cannot “practice social-distancing.”
They’re locked together in the world’s most densely populated area by the state of Israel.

If your reply is “but Gaza voted for Hamas,” I will block you ASAP.
Because you advocate collective punishment, genocide, violations of Geneva.

COVID-19 will obliterate the Palestinians trapped there.
The water isn’t safe to drink.

According to the UN, Israel’s blockade of Gaza constitutes collective punishment, violates international law and warrants referral to the ICC.

Israel restricts humanitarian delivery of foodstuffs to Gaza, based on ... calorie count.

— 60% of Gaza’s population is connected to a sewerage collection system. Water is not safe to drink.
— 61% of Gazas are food insecure. Of those...65% are children.
— Back in 2009? 65% of Gaza’s babies — infants — were anemic.
Coronavirus is there. And they cannot leave.

Whose “fault” is the blockade of Gaza? The entire world.
Coronavirus is there. Gazans cannot leave. “Social-distancing” is impossible.
Sorry about your cabin fever.

And you are watching it life.
