Gaza's Communications Blackout Deepens Amid Israeli Bombardment

Israel has imposed a second communications blackout in Gaza, cutting off phone and internet services, despite warnings from humanitarian aid agencies that such blackouts exacerbate the already dire situation in the war-torn Palestinian enclave. The blackout has caused concern and fear among residents, who are unable to communicate with their loved ones and understand the situation. It also hampers the work of humanitarian agencies on the ground. Israel has been accused of using internet blackouts as a warfare tactic, while the US has expressed concern about the impact on civilians and the humanitarian crisis. Elon Musk's offer to provide satellite internet service to aid organizations in Gaza has sparked protests from Israel.
