The Gaza Strip has no more coronavirus test kits, Palestinian health officials said on Wednesday, amid fears of disaster if the illness spreads in the blockaded, densely packed enclave.
In a news briefing, Gaza health ministry spokesman Ashraf al-Qidra said dozens of samples were awaiting testing, and that hundreds of people would likely have to remain in quarantine facilities as a result.
He appealed to international organizations to provide Gaza with testing kits as well as 100 ventilators and 140 beds for intensive care units.
