Gaza - Saba:
The Palestinian Red Crescent Society has announced that it is facing significant difficulty communicating with its teams in the Gaza Strip due to the complete interruption of internet and landline services in the Strip, following the direct targeting of communication lines by Israeli forces.
The Society explained in a brief statement on Thursday that the Emergency Operations Room is also facing difficulty coordinating with other organizations to respond to humanitarian emergencies.
The Palestinian Telecommunications Regulatory Commission announced today that all internet and landline services in the Gaza Strip had been interrupted after the last main fiber route was targeted.
The Commission warned of the humanitarian and social consequences of the interruption, calling on all relevant local and international bodies to intervene urgently to facilitate the implementation of the necessary arrangements. This would enable technical teams to safely access fault sites and carry out the required repairs. The continued interruption exacerbates the communications crisis and prolongs the isolation imposed on the Strip.
