Gaza communications blackout ends, gives rise to hope for the resumption of critical aid deliveries
Saturday, 18 November 2023 Internet and phone service has been partially restored in the Gaza Strip, ending a telecommunications blackout that caused the United Nations to suspend aid deliveries. Meanwhile, an Israeli airstrike hit a residential building in Khan Younis, killing at least 26 Palestinians.

Israel has agreed to allow some fuel into Gaza for humanitarian purposes, but the amount falls far short of what is needed.
