Shelters overflowing with Gaza’s displaced increase risk of coronavirus

Even in war, a clown always brings a smile.

Wearing a funny suit, Abed Al Kader plays with children inside the Jadida school in Gaza city, one of the several that have been turned into a shelter by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency, following the latest confrontation between Hamas and Israel.

"I came here to deliver a message that happiness still reigns in Gaza, despite the sadness and the devastation," the 28-year-old Abed, affectionately called Amo Abodo, told The National. "The children are afraid by the shelling, so we are trying to entertain them a little."
