Yesterday, Egyptian companies that offer telecommunication services in Egypt declared that they are prepared to help the people of Gaza, who are facing a disruption in internet and phone service due to the complete communication blackout caused by Israeli attacks on the Strip.
Besides Telecom Egypt WE, there are four more significant international telecom providers in Egypt.
According to a Vodafone Egypt representative, the company has shown readiness to build mobile phone towers in the Egyptian city of Rafah, near Gaza, which can cover an area of up to 10 kilometers in the Gaza Strip when operating at maximum power.
In turn, an official at E& Etisalat in Egypt reaffirmed that the company is ready to offer communications services to Gaza Strip inhabitants on the Egyptian-Palestinian border, stressing the availability of several towers and speedy mobile stations.
