A large number of people are still missing under rubble and on the roads, and ambulance and civil defense crews are unable to reach them. For the sixth day in a row, the complete outage of communications and Internet services in the Gaza Strip continues, due to the ongoing Israeli aggression. This is at least the seventh time that communications have been completely cut off from the Gaza Strip since the start of the aggression on October 7. Networks and transmission towers were damaged as a result of the massive destruction caused by the aggression to the infrastructure, and the lack of fuel due to the siege. This le d to frequent outages, pressure on the network, and weak transmission in various parts of the sector. In a preliminary toll, the ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza since October 7 has resulted in at least 24,285 fatalities, more than 70% of whom are women and children, and 61,154 wounded.
