In a brief statement this morning, the organization noted that the Emergency Operations Room is also experiencing the same problem, making it difficult to assist the population.

Shortly before, the Palestinian Telecommunications Regulatory Commission reported that all internet and landline services in Gaza were cut off after the last major fiber optic route was attacked by the Israeli army.

The authority warned of the humanitarian and social repercussions of the service interruption and noted that attacks on communications infrastructure threaten to completely isolate the Strip from the outside world.

The Commission warned of the humanitarian and social repercussions of the communications outage and called on the international community to intervene to facilitate the necessary arrangements and allow the arrival of technical teams. It also accused the Israeli army of preventing cable repairs and obstructing access to alternative routes.
