The Palestinian Telecommunications Company has announced a total disruption of fixed-line communication and internet services in the Gaza Strip, attributing the outage to the ongoing Israeli offensive in the region.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, the company clarified that its technical teams are working to restore services despite the hazardous field conditions.
Another company also reported an internet outage, stating, "With the continuation of the aggression on the Gaza Strip, the main lines feeding telecommunications and internet companies were disrupted again, leading to a complete halt of our services in the Gaza sector."
The statement comes amidst escalating tensions and increased military activity in the region, which has severely impacted infrastructure and essential services, including communications. The interruption of these services not only affects daily life but also hampers emergency response efforts and news dissemination from the area.
The loss of communication and internet services in Gaza amid the Israeli offensive presents significant challenges for the residents of the region. It underscores the broader implications of military actions on civilian infrastructure and the urgent need for restoration of these vital services to ensure safety and connectivity in the area.
