00:00 The war in Gaza is not just affecting civilians but also the infrastructure of the Gaza Strip.

00:19 The ongoing war between Israel and Hamas has had a significant impact on Gaza's telecommunications

00:23 infrastructure.

00:24 Israeli airstrikes have damaged cell phone towers, fiber-optic cables and power supplies,

00:30 disrupting internet and mobile phone networks in the region.

00:34 As a result, millions of Palestinians in Gaza have limited or no access to these essential

00:39 services at all.

00:41 The reason behind the recent network outage in the Gaza Strip, according to Palestinian

00:45 telecom firms Jawwal and Paltel, is that fuel deliveries are prohibited into the besieged

00:50 area.

00:52 In a statement posted on X, the company stated, "All energy sources sustaining the network

00:56 have depleted."

00:57 A day earlier, they had issued a warning that there wouldn't be enough fuel to run the main

01:02 data centers and switches in Gaza, resulting in a complete blackout.

01:06 "We are currently in the sixth week of the Gaza war.

01:10 However, this week was quite significant.

01:12 Due to a shortage of fuel, internet and mobile services are now going offline throughout

01:16 the Gaza Strip.

01:17 Now, this could result in a long-term telecommunication blackout," as Israel hinted that its offensive

01:23 against Hamas may target the south, where the majority of the population has sought

01:28 refuge.

01:29 Israel has been stifling Gaza's fuel supplies for more than a month, making the city vulnerable

01:35 to more blackouts and power outages.

01:38 If one remembers, Israel's Defense Minister, Yoav Galant, declared in significant speech

01:43 that Gaza will be under complete siege.

01:45 "I have given the order.

01:47 Food, fuel or electricity will not be supplied to Gaza.

01:51 We will react appropriately because we are combating terrorists who are barbaric," he

01:56 said.

01:57 Gaza's vital infrastructure is prone to outages in the absence of fuel.

02:01 Since the start of the war, Gaza's communication networks have been unstable due to lack of

02:06 electricity and damage to the infrastructure from Israeli bombardment.

02:10 The neighboring Egypt has already been urged by the Palestinian Ministry of Communication

02:14 and Information Technology to run communication centers close to the Gaza borders and enable

02:19 roaming services on Egyptian networks.

02:22 Not only this, Israel is also ensuring Hamas fails to establish any sort of communication

02:27 by destroying all the infrastructure once and for all.
