This is an entry from: Israel-Palestine war: First week ends with over 2,500 Palestinians, 1,400 Israelis killed
Palestinian death toll updates slow due to 'internet and communication network' disruption

The Palestinian health ministry in Gaza said it is facing difficulties updating the death toll regularly due to disruptions to internet and communication networks.
The blackouts, which Middle East Eye correspondents in Gaza are also facing, come after Israel said it would cut the besieged Strip's access to water, food, fuel and electricity.
In the latest death toll, the ministry said at least 765 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli shelling and over 4,000 wounded. At least 18 Palestinians have been killed in the West Bank since the flare-up started on Saturday.
