Sure! Here’s the translation to American English:

Gaza has faced an almost complete disruption of telecommunications, leaving over 2 million people isolated and without access to communication. This is the third disconnection incident of this type since October 2023. The latest disruption began on June 11, 2025, and after three days of blackout, service was partially restored on June 14. However, recent reports indicate that access has again been cut off in central and southern Gaza.
The blackouts have severely impacted telephone and wireless communications throughout the strip, preventing journalists, emergency teams, and civilians from communicating, documenting the situation, or requesting help. These kinds of restrictions amid an active military campaign not only constitute a violation of fundamental human rights but also threaten civilians’ ability to survive, seek shelter, and report abuses.
The telecommunications infrastructure in Gaza was already weakened by years of blockade and lack of spare parts, and it is now further affected by intensified bombing. Palestinian digital rights groups have expressed concern about the impending total collapse of telecommunications in the region.
These connection cuts systematically silence the people of Gaza in a humanitarian crisis context, impeding the documentation of war crimes and hindering the international community’s response.
The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) has emphasized that governments and occupying powers should not disrupt access to the internet or telecommunications services, especially in times of conflict. The situation in Gaza is not just a local issue but a global human rights emergency.
In this context, the organization 7amleh has called on all stakeholders, including governments, telecommunications regulators, and civil society, to demand an end to the blackouts in Gaza and other parts of the world. Connectivity is a lifeline, not a luxury.
