Starlink to provide connectivity in Gaza after Israel imposes blackout
Elon Musk announced on Saturday that “internationally recognised aid organisations” will be able to communicate with Gaza over SpaceX’s Starlink.
In a post on social media X, formerly known as Twitter, Musk stated that although it’s unclear who is in charge of ground links in Gaza, we do know that “no terminal has requested a connection in that area”.
On Saturday, as Israel expanded its air and ground assault, a telephone and internet blackout cut off residents of the Gaza Strip from the outside world and from one another. Calls to loved ones, ambulances, or coworkers in other locations were nearly impossible.
