Israel flouting social distancing recommendations There are 97 confirmed cases of coronavirus in West Bank and Gaza and one woman has died in the West Bank due to complications from the illness Israel has reported over 3,000 cases and 12 deaths. Professor Lauren Gardner, the creator of the map did not respond to The New Arab’s request for comment. John Hopkins updated the dashboard on March 26 with a separate section called "West Bank and Gaza". However, on March 10, John Hopkins "replaced the entry for Palestine with oPt" – occupied Palestinian territories.Ī day later, they said, "the oPt entry was removed and its figures merged with the entry for Israel". The pair penned a letter published by the medical journal The Lancet, pointing out the dashboard was "initially listing data recorded by the Palestinian health ministry in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip under its entry for Palestine". The change was first spotted by Dr Ritya Giacaman, a teacher at Birzeit University and Rania Muhareb, a legal advocate at the Palestinian human rights group Al-Haq. John Hopkins has since added a section titled "West Bank and Gaza", but people online don't think it is enough. This meant that those living in Palestine couldn't track coronavirus cases in the occupied territories. Human rights experts quickly noticed that it removed Palestine and merged data about Covid-19 cases in the West Bank and the Gaza strip with numbers from Israel. Initially the dashboard listed Palestine and Israel separately. However, the creator is being criticised for erasing Palestine from the board. The list will be updated as new opportunities arise.The world map, updated in real time, is published by John Hopkins University's Centre for Systems and Engineering. The Office of the Vice Provost for Research has announced funding opportunities specific to COVID-19.
