Conceptualising and challenging child neglect in humanitarian action: Protecting displaced children in Jordan and Palestine.

Background: Humanitarian organisations commonly identify neglect as a specific form of harm from which children should be protected. However, lack of debate about the aetiology of child neglect has left intact a tendency to assume that it is due to a failure of caregivers. Obscured by this assumption are the role of the humanitarian system in supporting or, indeed, undermining the efforts of primary caregivers.

Unique situation of Gaza Strip dealing with COVID-19 crisis.

Infected COVID19 cases continue to increase, having already reached 21 million globally, attracting scientists around the world to trying to find a possible vaccine. Unlike many places around the world, movement restrictions and difficulties in travelling in and out due to a 13-year-old blockade with no possibility for tourists to travel in, has benefited Gaza in terms of being self-isolated and less likely to have many travellers or foreigners carrying the virus and infecting the population. First cases were discovered on 22 March 2020, and by 05 July 2020, there were still only 72 cases confirmed, 60 of whom were successfully treated, 11 active cases, and only 1 death.
