Communication services in Gaza cut off for fourth due to Israeli aggression

OCCUPIED PALESTINE, Dec. 05 (YPA) – The Palestinian  Ministry of Communication said that communication services, including fixed mainlines, mobiles, and internet were cut off for the fourth time in Gaza City and the northern Strip as a result of the ongoing Israeli aggression.

In a statement carried out by Maan News Agency, Executive Director of the Ministry’s Department of Communications, Laith Daraghmeh, called on international unions and bodies to respond to the warnings that were previously made to maintain the continuity of communication and internet services amid the difficult humanitarian conditions and the intensification of shelling by the Israeli occupation against the Strip.

He stressed that contact with international and UN organizations and sides is ongoing, but the occupation still insists on disregarding past interventions.

“The international community must ensure serious guarantees to not cut off communications again and to ensure universal access to communication and internet services to civilians, medical institutions, and journalists,” he said.
