Telecommunications Network Cut off in AlNeirab Camp

Palestinian refugees taking shelter in AlNeirab camp, in Aleppo, north of Syria, denounced the frequent blackouts in the telecommunications and internet network.

An AGPS correspondent attributed the blackout to an explosion in the main gas pipeline in Rif Dimashq.

On Monday, telecommunications and internet access were completely cut off across Syria as an explosion struck a gas pipeline in a Damascus suburb, causing a huge fire and cutting off electricity throughout Syria, state media reported, citing the country's electricity and oil ministers.

The state news agency SANA quoted Electricity Minister Zuhair Kharbotli as saying the explosion on the “Arab Gas Pipeline” occurred after midnight Sunday between the northeastern Damascus suburbs of Adra and Dumair.

He said it was the sixth time the pipeline was hit. Technicians are working to fix the problems and electricity should be restored in the coming hours, he said.

Ghanem, the oil minister, said the pipeline was attacked in this same desert area six times in recent years. He said it pumps some 7 million cubic meters of natural gas to power stations that supply much of Syria with electricity.
