[QUOTE="Brianwill, post: 491, member: 15"] Find out how this became possible. Billionaire Elon Musk on Saturday said his Starlink satellite service will support Internet access for "internationally recognized aid organizations in Gaza" facing a telecommunications shutdown starting Friday. Starlink is a network of satellites in low Earth orbit that can provide Internet in remote locations or in areas where the usual communications infrastructure has been disabled. Musk was reacting to a post by Democratic Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, in which she called the communications blackout in Gaza "unacceptable." Israeli Communications Minister Shlomo Kari threatened to cut off contacts with Starlink if Musk continued his actions. Kari wrote on X: "Israel will use all available means to combat this." In response to Musk's suggestion, the head of the World Health Organization, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, said: "We would really need help from Starlink to connect with our staff and medical facilities in Gaza. How can we do this?" UN agencies and non-governmental organizations reported on Saturday that they had lost contact with their teams in the Gaza Strip. Lynn Hastings, UN Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator, wrote on X: "Hospitals and humanitarian operations cannot continue without communication." [/QUOTE]
