The United Nations said on Thursday that there was a full internet blackout in the Gaza Strip, likely due to military activity damaging the last cable into the enclave, that has paralyzed aid operations.
"Lifelines to emergency services, humanitarian coordination, and critical information for civilians have all been cut. There is a full internet blackout, and mobile networks are barely functioning,” deputy U.N. spokesperson Farhan Haq told reporters.
"In a context already limited by physical access restrictions and widespread damage, emergency services are cut off, and civilians cannot access life-saving support," Haq said.
