Is­rael-based com­pa­ny do­nat­ed three so­lar-pow­ered wa­ter-mak­ing ma­chines to Gaza to help with the cri­sis.

Some 12 cas­es have been con­firmed in Gaza, as well as hun­dreds in the oc­cu­pied West Bank and thou­sands in Is­rael.

Gaza Strip, home to two mil­lion, has enough test­ing kits for few­er than 200 and about 20 avail­able ven­ti­la­tion de­vices.

Cod­ing is em­pow­er­ing a new gen­er­a­tion of Pales­tini­ans in the be­sieged Gaza Strip and help­ing many find work.

Nar­cotics, in­clud­ing cannabis, have flood­ed into Gaza in un­prece­dent­ed quan­ti­ties in re­cent months, po­lice say.

Fi­nan­cial­ly strapped cou­ples are turn­ing to lo­cal or­gan­i­sa­tions de­signed to help fund their nup­tials.
