You make it sound like it's ubiquitous and constant. Just to clarify what access means:

From Wikipedia:

> By December 2023 200,000 people living in Gaza (around 10% of the population) had received internet access through an eSIM.

> As of August 2024, according to a Palestinian source, over 70% of telecommunications have been rendered inoperable. As of June 2025, Paltel is still providing some internet and landline telephone services in southern Gaza. There have been at least 10 outages since the conflict began. The lack of reliable telecommunications has hampered efforts by first responders and humanitarian groups.

From the above it sounds like maybe 3% of the population have access (as of a year ago), and there are regular outages. It also says that access has been insufficient.
