Gaza hospital goes online first time in five months

In a bid to bring on ground reality online to the world, Elon Musk has activated his Starlink satellite internet services in war-torn Gaza hospital.

The billionaire announced the development in a tweet thanking the United Arab Emirates and Israel for making the move possible.

“Starlink is now active in a Gaza hospital with the support of @UAEmediaoffice and @Israel,” Musk posted on X.

This is the first time the hospitals in Gaza will be linked online to the world after five months.

Moreover, Israeli government approved the use of Starlink in the hospital located in Rafah, southern Gaza.

The internet service, owned by Musk, is a network of low Earth orbit satellites providing internet access to remote or disrupted areas.

The UAE stated that the high-speed internet will facilitate potentially life-saving medical consultations via real-time video calls.

The UAE’s foreign minister thanked Musk for supporting the field hospital in Gaza.

It is worth mentioning here that, over 39,000 people have been killed in Palestine since the beginning of Israel war on October 07 last year, according to Gaza’s Hamas-controlled health authorities.
