Gaza - Saba:
The media office in Gaza considered the Zionist enemy's cutting off of communications and the internet for the tenth time in the Gaza Strip during the genocide crime on Monday to be aimed at obscuring the truth and deepening the humanitarian catastrophe.
In a statement received by the Yemeni News Agency (Saba), the office said that the Zionist enemy's persistence in implementing its criminal policies against more than 2.4 million Palestinians in the Gaza Strip by deliberately cutting off communications and internet networks for the tenth time since the beginning of its brutal aggression, is part of the genocide it has been waging relentlessly against the civilian population for more than 20 consecutive months.
The repeated and comprehensive disruption of communications and the internet cannot be considered a technical or accidental failure, the Office added. Rather, it is a deliberate and premeditated crime aimed at isolating the Gaza Strip from the outside world, obscuring the truth, and depriving citizens of the most basic necessities of life, safety, communication, and assistance. It has also hindered and continues to hinder the work of medical and relief crews, preventing them from reaching the martyrs and wounded, many of whom may have been left to bleed to death without the possibility of rescue.
The Office stated that this deliberate blackout by the enemy aims to cover up its heinous crimes in isolated and afflicted areas. It exacerbates the scale of the humanitarian disaster, prevents the media from conveying the true picture, and turns every moment of silence on the communications networks into a potential moment of death for innocents whose only crime is their steadfastness in the face of the enemy.
The Office said, "We affirm that the continued disruption of communications and the internet is a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law and reveals the fascist face of the enemy, which uses technological tools to strangle an entire people."
The Office holds the "Israeli" enemy fully responsible for this heinous crime. We also hold the United States and the international community politically and morally responsible for their complicity and shameful silence. We call on the United Nations, the International Telecommunication Union, and other international organizations to take an urgent, practical stance to end this technical blockade and to pressure for the permanent and stable resumption of telecommunications and internet networks in the Gaza Strip without interruption.
