....In Gaza many people were oblivious to the war and all the diplomatic manoeuvring it had set off, because one of the longest communications outages of the war had plunged much of the territory into isolation. Phone and internet networks were down from Wednesday because of damage to key fibre-optic cables, the UN said. “Since April, Israeli authorities have denied more than 20 requests to carry [urgent repair] work,” the UN aid coordination office said. That meant they could not see new evacuation orders posted by Israel’s military spokesperson, or warnings that the war in Gaza would continue “with extreme force”. They also could not access announcements from the Gaza Humanitarian Fund, the new US and Israeli backed organisation distributing some food in the strip from compounds guarded by the Israeli military. “We were ordered to stand down,” the GHF said in a statement to international press. “We have asked the IDF to facilitate the ongoing delivery of aid as soon as possible.” GHF uses only Facebook to communicate with Palestinians. So hungry, oblivious crowds approached centres on Saturday morning, as they had done since late May. Gunfire from Israeli soldiers killed at least 15 of them... Nothing like depending on rumors while you're being effortlessly starved. At least maybe there's a less bombing.
