Corona sufferers rise in Arab countries .. The number of deaths in Europe exceeds thirty thousand and Turkey sends support to Spain and Italy

The number of Corona virus infections increased, on Wednesday, in a number of Arab countries following the registration of new cases, as the Mufti of Jerusalem called for the acceleration of paying zakat to support efforts to counter the spread of the virus, while Russia took the initiative to provide assistance to the United States, as did Turkey with Spain and Italy.

And announced the Moroccan Ministry of Health, in new statistics published by the official portal of Corona, the total number of injured to 638, after recording 21 cases.

While the number of deaths remained at 36, and those recovering from the disease 24, of the total injuries, according to the same statistics.

In occupied Palestine, government spokesman Ibrahim Melhem announced that 15 new cases had been registered in Corona, bringing the total to 134.

"Among the 15 injuries, 9 workers work inside an Israeli settlement, and the rest are in contact with workers in their towns in the Ramallah district," Melhem told a press conference.

Of the 134 injuries reported by Melhem, 12 are in the Gaza Strip, and the rest in the West Bank.

And in Gaza, initiatives were made to manufacture health masks to address the threat of the spread of corona, and the "Queen Tex" plant turned its activities from sewing shirts and jeans to supporting the sector in the face of the virus.

The factory is located near the border with Israel in the Karni industrial zone, and blue masks and blue medical clothing are stacked on the tables.

"Because of the difficulty in importing medical uniforms from China, we decided to manufacture them in our factories in Gaza, at the request of international institutions working in the sector. We will produce them specifically for them," said factory director Hassan Alwan.

The frequency of the epidemic in Gaza has been slow so far, and 12 people have been officially infected with the virus. However, experts fear that the number recorded is less than reality due to limited medical capabilities, and they consider that the epidemic in the Gaza Strip will be disastrous due to overpopulation (more than 5400 people per square kilometer), chronic poverty and the absence of health infrastructure.

The compulsory quarantine is subject to about 1700 Palestinians who returned from outside Gaza recently.
