The Gaza Strip is currently experiencing its tenth telecommunications and internet blackout since the beginning of the ongoing war, with the most recent one lasting for 8 days. This has severely limited the ability of residents to communicate, including contacting emergency services such as ambulances and civil defense teams, leading to reports of hundreds of civilians being trapped under rubble. The blackout coincides with an intensification of Israeli military offensives in the region, particularly in Khan Younis, where attacks have escalated. The Israeli military has also issued an evacuation order for blocks 107-112 in Khan Younis, including the area where Nasser Hospital is located, prompting urgent calls for international action to protect critical health infrastructure in Gaza.
