ALBAWABA - As Israeli occupation intensifies its air strikes in Gaza, cutting off all communication services since the start of Hamas's Al-Aqsa Operation on October 7th, an urgent plea has emerged on social media.
Using the hashtag "Starlink for Gaza," millions of users are calling on billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk to step in with Starlink satellites and restore internet access to the embattled region.
The Gaza Strip has been under a complete blockade and bombardment for the past 21 days, with occupation's latest air strikes being the most severe to date.
Reports indicate that communication with Gaza has been completely severed. The Palestinian telecommunications company "Jawwal" recently posted on social media, confirming that all phone and internet services in Gaza have been terminated. They attributed this to extensive damage to the region's infrastructure as a result of the intense Israeli occupation bombardment.
Under the banner of "Starlink for Gaza," users across the globe are uniting in a heartfelt appeal for Elon Musk to leverage his Starlink satellite technology to reconnect the war-torn region with the global community.
This hashtag quickly became a trending topic, both nationally and internationally, highlighting the widespread concern for the humanitarian crisis unfolding in Gaza.
