Gaza on swine flu alert

Gaza City (CNN) -- Swine flu has not reached Gaza yet but with 1.5 million residents squeezed into 360 square kilometers it would appear to be a small miracle.

Gaza's Ministry of Health knows it is a matter of when not if the virus will get in. Moain Kariri, Director of Health Education, said: "It could be here tomorrow or the day after, you know there are no borders among bacteria and viruses."

The Middle East one of the most problematic areas of the earth since ancient time, thanks to the religious idelogies and the cultural ones making a riot that we could say is one of the most old ones in the world between countries, but what about the people in those areas ? What about their lives, their families, their problems, would this people live with an other huge problem, as in this case swine flue.

Imagine between the war and the riots in Gaza who's going to give the vaccines., where theres no government, the only one who can give these vaccines could be the UN and i think they wouldnt do it in thi situation, so what would happen if the swine flu arrives to Palestinian territory that is one of the most densely populated areas on the planet?
