GAZA, June 12, 2025 (WAFA) – The Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) reported Thursday that it is facing severe difficulties in contacting its teams in the Gaza Strip due to a complete shutdown of internet and landline services, following a direct Israeli strike on key communication infrastructure.

In a brief statement, the PRCS said its emergency operations center is also struggling to coordinate with other humanitarian organizations, hindering efforts to respond to urgent humanitarian needs.

Earlier in the day, the Palestinian Telecommunications Regulatory Authority confirmed that all fixed-line and internet services in Gaza had been cut off after the last remaining fiber-optic route was targeted.

The authority warned of serious humanitarian and social consequences, urging both local and international bodies to intervene immediately.

It called for urgent measures to ensure the safe access of technical crews to repair sites, stressing that continued disruption would deepen the communications crisis and prolong Gaza's isolation.
