Chief: WHO unable to contact staff, health facilities in Gaza

World Health Organization (WHO) Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said on Saturday that the agency is still unable to reach its staff and health facilities in the Gaza Strip after what appears to be a total disruption of communication and internet services in the Palestinian territory. “Reports of intense bombardment in Gaza are extremely distressing. Evacuation of patients is not possible under such circumstances, nor to find safe shelter. The blackout is also making it impossible for ambulances to reach the injured,” the WHO chief wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter. Previously, the Palestinian telecom provider Paltel said that the “continuous intensive bombardment” of the enclave caused complete disruption of internet, cellular, and landline services in the Gaza Strip. “Gaza is currently blacked out,” the provider announced via its X profile. NN: They want you to believe innocent Hamas murders are  victims of Israeli aggression. Please note  they are still able to launch their bottle rockets. And its reported UN and the WHO  officials cannot contact their people….. Really? I can tell you they have enrolled over 1000 Immersat2 Satellite phones that are operating. The story goes the hospitals  are unable to contact first responses.  And as far as “first responders” unable to communicate bull. All Red Crescent ambulances are supplied with  2 way radios many with telemetry  data which are working. They operate on the same frequencies as in Israel because red crescent ambulances are often allowed into Israel on humanitarian life saving cases.  AS far as internet  and cell phones.  Providers Paltell  as and Jawwal are down. But most Palestinians carry Israel cell phone  sim card which have some  coverage in Gaza, They forgot  to tell internet service is fully operational in Gaza on the Starlink system. Which is in wide proliferation since the Palestinian ISP’s were always slow and unreliable.  Elon Musk is providing starlink equipment and service for free to all public users including  the UN and hospitals.
