“We have completely lost contact with the operations room in Gaza Strip and all our teams operating there due to the Israeli authorities cutting off all landline, cellular and internet communications,” Posted Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) on Friday evening.
Several reports suggest Gaza is under heavy bombardment.
Palestinian telecommunication company Jawwal also confirmed the communication blackout in a message on its Facebook page.
“Mobile phone service and internet in Gaza has been cut off due to heavy Israeli bombardment,” Jawwal wrote on social media.
NetBlocks, an NGO that monitors internet censorship, confirmed that there is a “collapse in connectivity” in the enclave.
“We are deeply concerned about the ability of our teams to continue providing their emergency medical services, especially since this disruption affects the central emergency number “101” and hinders the arrival of ambulance vehicles to the wounded and injured,” PRCS said.
