Palestinians walk on a street in Gaza City, on April 21, 2021. Ahead of Ramadan, the Hamas-run local authorities declared a series of preventive measures to avoid the rapid spread of the COVID-19 and its new strains. The Hamas authorities then further tightened their measures, by imposing a complete lockdown during the night for five days and a total lockdown during Fridays and Saturdays after Gaza saw a significant increase in COVID-19 infections recently.
