Complete interruption of internet services in the northern Gaza Strip
The Palestinian Telecommunications Company "Paltel" announced, this Saturday afternoon, a complete interruption of internet services in the northern Gaza Strip governorate, which has been subjected to a process of extermination and forced displacement by the occupation forces for 15 days.
The company stated in a statement to "Wafa" that the outages included most areas of northern Gaza, where there were scattered outages before it was completely cut off, noting that its crews are working hard to restore services as soon as possible.
The cutting off of communications and the Internet in some areas of Jabalia camp affects the ability of citizens to communicate with civil defense and medical services teams.
Since the beginning of the occupation's aggression on October 7, 2023, communications and internet services have been cut off several times in the Strip, or in large areas of it, as a result of the intensive bombing that affected the communications network infrastructure, or as a result of fuel running out.
Paltel had previously announced that a number of its employees had been killed while working to restore communications to citizens in the Gaza Strip.
Due to the cutting off of internet services in the north, journalists are facing great difficulty in covering field developments in light of the ongoing aggression.
