Day 71: The Palestine-Israel conflict reaches a critical point as Gaza plunges into darkness. Since October 7, at least 18,787 Palestinians have lost their lives due to ongoing Israeli attacks, while the death toll in Israel has risen to 1,147.
The air is thick with tension and despair as reports emerge of at least 10 people killed in strikes targeting a UN school in Khan Younis and residential homes in southern Gaza. 💔 Families are torn apart, and communities are left scrambling for safety amidst the chaos.
Adding to the dire situation, Palestinian telecommunications firms have announced a massive service cut in Gaza, once again due to relentless Israeli attacks. The Gaza government media office highlights that this communications blackout is severely hampering rescue efforts, leaving many isolated and without a means to call for help. 📵
With the lines of communication down, the people of Gaza are facing not just physical isolation but a digital one too, in a world where staying connected is vital for survival and receiving aid. The silence is deafening, and the world watches as the humanitarian crisis deepens.
As the sun sets on Day 71, hopes for peace seem distant, but the resilience of the people shines through the darkness. Let's stand in solidarity and keep them in our thoughts. ✊🕊️
