"This is the third communications blackout over the past 10 days. Gazans are completely cut off from their loved ones and the rest of the world," it added.Earlier in the day, the UNRWA posted that as of Saturday, 48 out of 149 UNRWA installations have been damaged since October 7, noting that nearly half of the 1.5 million people displaced in the Gaza Strip are sheltering at UNRWA facilities.
