Elon Musk has provided vital support to the UAE field hospital in Gaza by enabling Starlink internet service.

On Wednesday, Musk confirmed via social media that Starlink was operational in Gaza, a collaborative effort between the United Arab Emirates and Israel.

Starlink, a satellite network launched aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket on May 23, 2019, orbits close to Earth, delivering high-speed internet accessible even in remote areas.

His Highness Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Deputy Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates, expressed gratitude to Musk in a social media post.
