This message just received from the Palestine Telecommunications Company.
Israel already has blocked foreign correspondents from entering Gaza. If all communications fail, they will be able to complete their genocidal killing spree without the world seeing any bloodshed whatsoever or even hearing the screams of the 800,000+ children!!!
ACT FOR HUMANITY’S SAKE!

Dear All,
I would like to inform everyone that Paltel Infrastructure is severely damaged in Gaza, all means of communication with the Gaza Strip will be highly affected and may totally cut of; this will include PALTEL , Hadara and Jawwal Mobile services
we are experiencing, Loss of Fuel, infrastructure damage by missiles, towers hit by rockets, ….
Our technical Staff are unable to fix the damages due to the delicate situation especially after the death of 3 employees while on duty , and dozens hurt from shrapnels
Our teams are working around the clock, to maintain the service and keep the communications up with gaza
We hope that this nightmare will end, and we wish safety for everyone.
