Mobile phone repair has become nearly impossible in Gaza as the ongoing blockade prevents spare parts from entering the territory, Shehab Wire reported. The shortage has created a critical supply crisis for repair shops across the strip, leaving residents unable to fix damaged devices through normal channels.
The lack of replacement components has driven repair costs sharply higher, making phone maintenance unaffordable for most Palestinians in Gaza. Residents now face extended waits or complete inability to access basic device repairs, a consequence of restrictions that have persisted for months on imports needed to keep repair operations running.
