Internet and phone services slowly return to Gaza after outage

Internet and landline services are gradually resuming across Gaza City and the north of the Strip following a recent blackout, according to the Telecommunications Regulatory Commission (TRC), reported Wafa.

Connectivity has also returned to central and southern areas after a three-day disruption caused by repeated Israeli attacks that severely damaged vital infrastructure.

In a statement on Saturday evening, the TRC praised the work of telecom company crews, who managed to carry out repairs despite dangerous and complex conditions on the ground.

The authority warned that Gaza’s communications sector remains in crisis, with outages heavily affecting key services including healthcare, humanitarian relief, and education.

The TRC urged protection for technicians and called for safe conditions that would allow service continuity, especially given the worsening humanitarian situation in the besieged enclave.
