RAMALLAH, Saturday, October 28, 2023 (WAFA) – The Ministry of Telecommunications and Information Technology has appealed to the international community to intervene immediately and press the Israeli government to allow for the restoration of telecommunications services in Gaza Strip.

This came after it was confirmed that the Israeli Government has deliberately cut off the services from the Strip since yesterday evening, Friday 27/10/2023. This led to all people in Gaza Strip being disconnected from the world, in clear violation of international humanitarian law.  

"The restoration of these services is of paramount importance from a humanitarian point of view to say the least," said the ministry.

In the absence of telecommunication services in Gaza Strip, civilians who are under bombing and are being displaced, are experiencing extreme fear for their lives since they lost the ability to communicate with their loved ones, medical services.
