Respectable organizations, including the United Kingdom, the United Nations, Oxfam, and Human Rights Watch have all stated that Israel is obstructing the delivery of humanitarian aid.

Several Israeli officials have denied these claims, suggesting that such accusations are rooted in antisemitism. However, as with most conflicts, independent third-party sources are often more reliable than the conflicting parties themselves. Additionally, the Israeli government has barred independent journalists from entering Gaza, limiting objective reporting from neutral observers.

Direct attacks on telecommunications infrastructure by Israel, along with electricity blockades and fuel shortages, have led to the near-total collapse of Gaza's major cellular networks. This severely hinders the distribution of humanitarian aid.

Palestinians have attempted to bypass the communication blackout using eSIM technology [1, 2]. However, this workaround has merely helped prevent a complete information void rather than fully resolving the broader communication crisis.

Some opponents cite videos emerging from Gaza as evidence against the existence of a communication problem. However, this argument is flawed—these videos could have been uploaded during brief periods of connectivity by a limited number of individuals. Their existence does not indicate that communication is functioning reliably or at scale.
