has reached about (400) megawatts. The statement stated that the current crisis is unprecedented and constitutes a sharp and dangerous turning point that threatens the imminent collapse of most vital sectors in Gaza, most notably the health, water, environment, sanitation, and public services sector. 3. Communication and Internet services The Gaza Strip suffers from poor communication and internet services due to Israeli restrictions on IT and entry of IT equipment. The Israeli aggression caused a further deterioration to the poor communication and internet service, through the Israeli bombing that destroyed communication networks and internet servers. The Government Press Office stated that the losses of the communications and internet sector amounted to (6.1) million dollars because of the aggression on the Gaza Strip29. In the same context, Fusion for Internet and Communications Services stated that the bombing that targeted Al-Jawhara Tower in Gaza City destroyed the equipment of the internet provider, which caused the separation of Internet services from tens of thousands of subscribers in the Gaza Strip. The company expects that it will not be able to restore the service in the near future, due to its inability to compensate for the equipment destroyed due to the comprehensive closure imposed on the Gaza Strip by the Israeli occupation30. Conclusion The Independent Commission for Human Rights condemns, with the strongest terms, the Israeli occupation forces' continued escalation of their brutal attacks against Palestinian civilians, use of devastative force against residential homes and other civilian objects, including health facilities, media outlets, places of worship, schools, and commercial, industrial and agricultural establishments. ICHR also denounces the inability of the international community to assume its legal and ethical role to stop war crimes committed by the occupation forces in the Gaza Strip. ICHR especially denounces the position of the American administration that provides impunity to the occupation forces for their crimes, as well as continues the obstruction of the Security Council from issuing a statement. The aforementioned US administration’s role encourages the occupation forces to commit more crimes against Palestinian civilians, particularly children and women, to the extent of considering the US administration complicit in the commission of those crimes. Based on the foregoing, ICHR calls on the international community, including the High Contracting Parties to the 1949 Fourth Geneva Convention, on the protection of civilians in times of war, to intervene for the urgent and immediate cessation of all aggressive hostilities committed by the Israeli occupation forces in the Gaza Strip, in particular, and in occupied East Jerusalem and the West Bank in general. 29 Government Press Office (Gaza), Government Press Office statement, May 14, 2021 A statement by Engineer Hani Al-Alami, General Manager of Fusion Internet Services, for some news agencies in the Gaza Strip, for more information https://www.wattan.net/ar/news/340379.html 30
