The local community read the press release of the Gazan Ministry of Health which stated:
A large number of people are already infected but many of them don’t know yet.
The H1N1 vaccine has not and may not arrive in Gaza – and Tamiflu is not widely available.
Many deaths are most likely to occur because of the virus.
As everywhere, the flu is most dangerous to pregnant women, the elderly, children, and people with weak immune systems.
Gaza is at risk because of returning pilgrims from Mecca where Muslims from around the world have gone to finish their pilgrimage rituals may have caught the virus. In addition, many foreigners enter Gaza either to work here in one of the countless NGOs or to show the support.
People here started to panic as they searched for any information on how to prevent the spread of the h1n1 virus – how to fight it and how to kill it.
