Musk says Starlink to provide connectivity in Gaza through aid organisations

Elon Musk said on Saturday that SpaceX's Starlink will support communication links in Gaza with "internationally recognised aid organisations".

Musk said in a post on social media X, formerly known as Twitter, that it is not clear who has authority for ground links in Gaza, but we do know that "no terminal has requested a connection in that area".

A telephone and internet blackout isolated people in the Gaza Strip from the world and from each other on Saturday, with calls to loved ones, ambulances or colleagues elsewhere all but impossible as Israel widened its air and ground assault.
