UNRWA: We lost contact with our colleagues in Gaza due to communication outage
Geneva – Saba: The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) has announced that it has lost contact with its colleagues in the Gaza Strip due to the communication outage caused by the Israeli army's targeting. This came in a post by UNRWA on X platform on Thursday, following the announcement by the Palestinian Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA) that all internet and landlines communications services in the Gaza Strip had been cut off after the Israeli enemy targeted infrastructure. The UN agency said: "Contact with our UNRWA colleagues in Gaza has been lost." It continued: "This morning, for the first time in months, we have not received our colleagues' morning messages saying 'Good morning, we are fine/alive.'" UNRWA concluded by saying: "We are eagerly awaiting news of our colleagues." The Palestinian Telecommunications Regulatory Authority announced this morning, Thursday, a complete outage of internet and landlines communications services in the Gaza Strip after the last main fiber route was targeted. The Authority said in a statement that the Israeli enemy is escalating digital isolation as a result of systematic targeting of infrastructure, despite repeated attempts to repair severed and alternative routes. It noted that the southern and central Gaza Strip are joining the isolation suffered by the northern Gaza Strip for the second consecutive day. The authority warned that the continued outage threatens to completely cut off the Gaza Strip from the world and impacts relief, health, media, and educational services. It explained that the Israeli enemy has been preventing technical crews from reaching fault sites or repairing cables and alternative routes for months. With American and European support, the Israeli enemy army has continued to commit crimes of genocide in the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023, resulting in the deaths of 55,207 Palestinian citizens, the majority of whom are children and women, and the injury of 127,821 others. This is a preliminary toll, with thousands of victims still under the rubble and on the roads, unable to be reached by ambulance and rescue crews.

Gaza Faces Third Consecutive Day of Internet and Landline Blackout - Jordan News
Gaza Faces Third Consecutive Day of Internet and Landline Blackout The Palestinian Telecommunications Regulatory Authority has announced a worsening digital isolation in the Gaza Strip as a result of systematic targeting of telecommunications infrastructure, despite repeated previous attempts to restore several severed and alternative routes over an extended period. اضافة اعلان According to Palestinian sources, the Authority confirmed that cities in central and southern Gaza have now joined Gaza City and the northern region in complete digital blackout for the third consecutive day, due to continued strikes on vital main communication routes and networks. The Authority emphasized that this severe escalation against telecommunications infrastructure threatens to completely disconnect Gaza from the outside world, preventing residents from accessing essential services—particularly critical during the current humanitarian crisis—including relief, healthcare, media, and education. It warned of grave humanitarian and social consequences resulting from the blackout and called on all relevant local and international actors to intervene urgently to facilitate the safe access of technical crews to damaged sites and enable them to carry out necessary repairs. The Authority also noted that Israeli occupation forces continue to block technical teams from repairing cables severed two days ago and are obstructing access to backup alternative routes, despite months-long efforts to restore them. These repeated refusals have exacerbated the communications crisis and deepened the isolation imposed on the Gaza Strip. — (Petra News Agency)

Complete Internet, Telecommunications Blackout in Gaza
Israa Farhan The Gaza Strip has been plunged into a total communications blackout, with all internet and fixed-line services cut off following the destruction of the last remaining fibre-optic route, according to a statement issued on Thursday by the Palestinian Telecommunications Regulatory Authority. This latest shutdown intensifies the digital isolation of Gaza, which has been subject to sustained targeting of its communications infrastructure. Despite repeated attempts over several months to repair both primary and alternative routes, restoration efforts have largely failed. The central and southern governorates of Gaza have now joined Gaza City and the northern part of the Strip in complete disconnection, marking the second consecutive day of widespread blackout. The outage follows continued targeting of critical network infrastructure, severely disrupting telecommunications across the territory. Officials warned that the deliberate dismantling of Gaza's telecommunications systems threatens to sever the region entirely from the outside world. This has drastically limited residents' access to essential services, including humanitarian aid, emergency healthcare, education, and media communications. The regulatory authority has sounded the alarm over the deepening humanitarian and social consequences of the outage. It urged immediate intervention from relevant local and international bodies to facilitate technical access to affected areas and enable urgent repair operations. Continued denial of repair efforts is expected to prolong the blackout and intensify the crisis. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean
