Elon Musk announced that SpaceX's Starlink satellite internet service is now active in a hospital in Gaza. The activation was facilitated with the support of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Israel. This development follows months of negotiations over humanitarian exceptions to an internet blackout imposed by Israel across the Gaza Strip. The initiative aims to improve medical consultations and aid in the functioning of the field hospital amidst the ongoing conflict, where many medical facilities have been destroyed.
