#original source I believe is wafa which is basically state news from Palestine so I’ll trust them to report on their government

I try not to reblog or post “x amount of time left until essential service is cut off” because if you see the same news over and over (like 24 hours left of fuel for hospital) where the time limit has been extended due to scrounging up of fuel from elsewhere only to hit the t minus 24 hours again mark it will erode your trust in the source and/or desensitise you to the urgency
That being said, just like I said when gazas telecom went down the first time; this is scary
This is fucking scary on a new magnitude because Israel has become more and more blatant in its war crimes as the genocide has progressed these last 33 days with now the active ground threat posed against major hospitals which are designated, illegally, as targets
Telecom going down due to lack of fuel, something Israel probably never will budge on allowing through rafah, is watching the on the ground information reporting being starved until the Israeli military can do what it wants in almost total darkness because it’s war machine is what controls the fuel needed for telecom
Short blackouts have had the same effect but when communication network have gone back online the reporting catches up from the survivors
Israel has bombed solar panels and won’t let fuel through rafah
They don’t want coms to come back
And this isn’t mentioning how vital telecom is for communication between humanitarian workers and organisations
