The last thread with Gaza was cut. Now it is alone in the dark and without the possibility of communicating, and we know it

In one of the most serious humanitarian crises of our times, a Gaza The last voice has also turned off. Without the Internet, without a telephone line, without light, civilians can no longer ask for help, to say that they are alive, to tell what happens under the bombs. A forced silence has dropped, and in the dark we continue to die without witnesses.

From 12 June, theentire strip of Gaza It is officially offline. The last fiber optic cable still active was destroyed during Israeli raids, as confirmed by the Ministry of Telecommunications of the Palestinian National Authority. It is a total blackoutwhich involves the Internet, fixed line and, in many areas, also the mobile network.

What is feared now is absolute isolation. International journalists cannot enter the strip, humanitarian organizations barely manage to communicate with their teams, and civilians have no way of contacting families or denouncing violations.

“The essential communication lines for emergency services, the humanitarian coordination and the crucial information for civilians have been interrupted. There is a total blackout of the internet and the mobile networks work barely,” said the Vice spokesperson for the United Nations, Farhan Haq.

Second Doctors without bordersthe lack of connection is aggravating a situation already at the limit. “The partial interruption of communications inflicted another hard blow to the humanitarian and medical response already decimated, putting at risk the life of our patients and our staff,” he said José Masresponsible for the organization’s emergency programs. Ambulances are unable to reach the injured, supplies are blocked and even staff safety can no longer be guaranteed.

Those who try to communicate with the outside world make it at risk of life. The Palestinian journalist To Hassan Selmi He told in an Instagram Reel to use an esim to connect to external networks, however having to approach the border supervised by Israeli forces.

Even humanitarian operators such as Gennaro Giudetti, present in Gaza, manage to send short satellite messages only in precarious conditions: “We are completely isolated from the world, without the internet, without a line. I am writing to you on the fly via satellite just to tell you that I am fine” and then “do not leave us alone! Share. Share for us”, he wrote on Instagram.

But the vast majority of the two million inhabitants of the Strip does not have access to satellite technologies. They are completely cut off. They cannot confirm that they are alive. Nor to ask for help. Nor to report.

In addition to the technological blackout, the victim’s budget is also worsened. According to local authorities, 103 Palestinians were killed in the last 24 hours and over 400 injured. THE’Nasser Hospitalone of the few still working in the south, is collapsed. Inside there are non -evacuable departments, such as that of neonatal intensive care with 17 children dependent on unique incubators in the area. If the hospital was bombed or cut off from the rescue, the fate of these patients would be marked.

Meanwhile, the forced evacuations ordered by the Israeli army continue and the distribution of food undergoes new attacks. At least eight operators of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation They were killed in an ambush attributed to Hamas. According to Reuters, the bus on which they traveled was struck while heading towards a food distribution center.

The situation in Gaza is the sum of at least four emergencies: humanitarian, health, social, information. And digital isolation is yet another weapon, which also depicts those who also resist the possibility of being listened to.

Until a communication line with the outside world is restored, Gaza remains in the dark. A darkness in which it continues to die in silence.
