Prisoners of the blackout in Gaza: “Three hours a day on foot for 15 minutes of internet”

RAFAH — I walked for hours to get some information. I walked around feeling blind, unable to see what was happening to my country and my loved ones. I did this during the eight-day telecommunications blackout that hit the Gaza Strip, the longest telephone and internet interruption since the start of the war. I can no longer use the car, I don’t have the money to pay the 50 dollars that a liter of petrol costs today, so every day I walked an hour and a half to go to the border withEgyptwhere a friend of mine managed to use the Egyptian networks, and then walk another hour and a half to get home.
