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!!!<\/strong><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

we are experiencing, Loss of Fuel, infrastructure damage by missiles, towers hit by rockets,  ….<\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

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<\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

Our teams are working around the clock, to maintain the service and   keep the communications up with gaza<\/span><\/font><\/p>\n
