Internet disruptions in northern Gaza: Report

Wafa, citing the Telecommunications Regulatory Authority in the Gaza Strip, reports that there has been a disruption in internet and landline services affecting the governorates of Gaza, which include Gaza City, and North Gaza.

There is currently an ongoing outage in the southern and central areas of the Gaza Strip that has lasted for more than three days.

The Palestinian news agency stated that technical teams were attempting to restore services as quickly as possible; however, the repeated targeting of key infrastructure by Israeli forces is hindering repair operations.


There is a sense in Gaza that Israel is taking advantage of media focus on Iran-Israel conflict

For the past three hours, the entire Gaza Strip has been in a telecommunications blackout due to the ongoing deliberate attacks on the telecommunications division.

There is also a sense that the Israeli army is taking advantage of the diverted attention away from Gaza to carry out more deadly attacks on Palestinians. At food distribution centres, there has been a daily routine, a pattern of ongoing deliberate shooting and killing of aid seekers.

There’s also the drone attacks. A recent one in the city of Khan Younis killed three people from the same family.

We were at al-Shifa Hospital to pay a visit for our field cameraman, whose mother was critically injured from yesterday evening’s drone attacks. The hospital remains in a dire condition, with a minimal level of medical care available due to the acute shortage of medical supplies.

We are talking about a health complex that has been reduced to a single department, an emergency ward serving thousands of people.

 

Death toll in today’s Israeli attacks on Gaza rises

More than 30 people have been killed in the Gaza Strip since midnight today, medical sources tell our team on the ground. At least 11 of those were killed while waiting for aid.

Here is a breakdown of the death toll by location:

  • 16 people have been killed in south Gaza.
  • 5 in central Gaza.
  • 5 in Gaza City, in the Shujayea and Zeitoun neighborhoods.
  • 5 in were killed in an air strike that targeted a group of people in the Tuffah neighborhood in east Gaza City.
