This announcement comes in response to concerns raised by U.S. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, commonly known as AOC, regarding internet and communication disruptions in Gaza.
AOC expressed her concern about the cutoff of communication to Gaza's population of 2.2 million people, deeming it "unacceptable." She highlighted the potential dangers this poses to journalists, medical professionals, humanitarian efforts, and innocent civilians. She also pointed out that the United States has historically denounced such practices.
In response to AOC's post on a social media platform, Musk stated, "Starlink will support connectivity to internationally recognized aid organizations in Gaza."
This move by Musk's Starlink aims to provide essential communication services to aid organizations in the Gaza Strip during a time of limited internet access and disruptions.. (ILKHA)
