Palestinian Communications Minister Yitzhak Sidr says all communications and internet services will stop in the Gaza Strip by Thursday due to depleting fuel.
During a press conference, the minister said that the lack of communications services will “deepen the humanitarian disaster,” according to Palestinian news agency WAFA.
This will affect communications among the Civil Defense, the Red Crescent, and other humanitarian organisations, he said, noting that “this means the loss of many lives”.
Calling “these actions violation of international law,” Sidr called on “all international institutions, the International Telecommunication Union in particular, UNRWA, the Arab Red Crescent, the Red Cross, human rights bodies, and civil society organisations to intervene immediately in order to bring fuel to the Gaza Strip”.
