Abandoned by Israel, Jerusalem’s refugee camp is left to fight COVID-19 alone

Pinched between governmental neglect and the blocking of aid from the PA, the residents of the neighborhoods have been left orphaned in the face of a dangerous pandemic. The city has done very little beyond writing up people who violate the Israeli government’s lockdown directives, and, following a request by Israeli NGO Ir Amim, has disinfected some of the streets in Kufr Aqab.
