Tech billionaire Elon Musk offered nationally recognized aid organizations in Gaza use of his Starlink satellite internet service Saturday while millions in the region have been cut off from communications.
Mr. Musk said on his social media platform X that none of the terrestrial terminals in Gaza have attempted to communicate with the satellite service but promised that his company, SpaceX, would support communications for aid organizations in the region.
The move is similar to Mr. Musk’s promise to provide Starlink access and equipment to Ukraine in the early stages of Russia’s invasion of the country last year. Mr. Musk’s pledge comes as communications in the Gaza Strip, which is occupied by the terrorist organization Hamas, have been knocked out by continued bombardments from the Israeli Defense Force.
