GAZA CITY, GAZA - AUGUST 30: A man leaves after closing his cafe on the corniche of the Gaza Strip, due to the coronavirus lockdown on August 30, 2020 in Gaza City, Gaza. Fears are growing that the already crippled health care system will not be able to cope, as coronavirus cases continue to rise throughout the Gaza strip. In the past weeks Israel has responded to incendiary balloons launched from Gaza, with airstrikes and further blockade restrictions adding to the pressure on residents already struggling with just four hours of electricity a day. In the past week, the Ministry of Health and Security Services in the Gaza Strip have issued strict lockdown and movement restrictions, to try to contain the rising infections. On August 31, Hamas agreed to temporarily end hostilities with Israel in exchange for a cash infusion from Qatar and an agreement with Israel to once again allow fuel to Gaza’s power station in a bid to calm the ongoing situation and deal with the latest coronavirus outbreak. Since March, there have reportedly been over 500 coronavirus cases with 5 confirmed deaths in the Gaza strip. (Photo by Fatima Shbair/Getty Images)
