Aid agencies say they can’t send food and other supplies to Gaza because of communications blackout

The communications blackout in Gaza was primarily caused by a lack of fuel, leading to the collapse of internet and telephone services.

The blackout has significantly disrupted the coordination and delivery of aid to Gaza, making it even more challenging for humanitarian groups to provide essential supplies like food and water to the population.

Gaza has been facing a dire humanitarian crisis with limited access to food, water, and basic necessities. The ongoing conflict has resulted in widespread suffering among the population.

As of now, more than 11,400 Palestinians have been reported killed in the war, with the majority being women and minors. Additionally, thousands are missing and believed to be buried under rubble.

Israel has restricted fuel shipments into Gaza as part of its military strategy, using fuel shortages as a tactic of war.

The heads of 18 U.N. agencies and international charities have called for a cease-fire and unimpeded entry of humanitarian aid and fuel into Gaza. They have rejected the proposal to concentrate civilians in one area while hostilities continue, deeming it too dangerous.
