Gaza residents are experiencing a communication blackout as phone and internet services have been cut off during intense Israeli airstrikes. The blackout has left the population in a state of panic, fearing that the outage signifies a new stage in the violence. The social media platform Snapchat, which some Gazans have been using to post images and videos from their lives during the war, has seen very little content uploaded since the blackout began. Gazans who have access to sim cards from other countries are the only ones still able to use the platform. Almaza Owda, a lawyer in southern Gaza, described the dangerous conditions on her Snapchat posts, lamenting the lack of contact with emergency services and the presence of corpses in the streets. The blackout has also affected humanitarian aid groups and organizations, making it impossible for them to communicate with their teams in Gaza. The World Health Organization and the World Food Program have expressed concern for the safety of their staff and civilians in Gaza. The blackout has left many asking, "Where is the voice of Gaza?" as they are unable to reach their loved ones or receive news updates.
