All communications services are down across the Gaza Strip due to lack of fuel, Palestinian telecom provider Paltel says.
Paltel says the landline connection, mobile network and internet connection in Gaza have all dropped.
The head of the United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees says a fuel shortage is to blame for the blackout.
“Gaza is again in a total communication blackout, and… it is because there is no fuel,” UNRWA chief Philippe Lazzarini tells a press conference in Geneva.
