Gaza's Communication Blackout Threatens Humanitarian Efforts
- On Thursday, Gaza experienced a total collapse of telecommunications, including a full internet blackout and barely functioning mobile networks across the territory.
- The internet and data blackout occurred after the final fiber optic line connecting central and southern Gaza was damaged, most likely as a result of intense Israeli military operations during an ongoing fuel blockade.
- The blackout has disrupted humanitarian efforts by cutting off digital communications essential for emergency response and coordination, while most health centers face an urgent risk of depleting their fuel supplies.
- UN spokesperson Farhan Haq emphasized that Gaza is experiencing a complete breakdown of its digital systems, severely disrupting connectivity. This situation is impacting 67 health facilities, including 17 hospitals and 7 field hospitals, hindering critical medical services.
- OCHA called on Israeli authorities to urgently restore fuel access and warned that without aid and repair, essential services will shut down and displacements will continue amid worsening conditions.
