Overview

• UN spokesman Farhan Haq reported that all internet and most mobile networks in central and southern Gaza have collapsed.
• The failure stems from damage to the territory’s sole remaining fiber-optic route during intense military operations.
• UNRWA and other relief agencies have lost contact with field teams, bringing deliveries of food, medicine, and water to a standstill.
• This marks the latest in a series of telecom blackouts that have hit Gaza over more than 20 months of fighting.
• Officials warn that without swift restoration of connectivity, life-saving coordination of rescue and aid will remain impossible.
