<p>The main problem as it stands with Gaza would be to get Starlink
equipment in for the international organisations to use. Coverage
wouldn't be an issue, but power and bandwidth would be.</p>
<p>It's a pretty dire situation. Palestinian friends of ours have
had extended family killed, the wife's mother is currently
visiting here and can't go back obviously - plus her apartment got
flattened in her absence early on. Then our friend's teenage kids
from his previous marriage got buried under rubble when their
mother's place got flattened, and that was just up to last week. I
really need to ask him what's happened since. They came here
because they were sick of Hamas.</p>
<p>On the ham radio side, I helped a bit with band watch for MARS
(military affiliated amateur radio system) during the first Gulf
War when the local US garrison (Old Ironsides) got sent from
Germany to Saudi Arabia. A lot of them found out the hard way that
if you have a bank account in Germany and you're on deployment,
your significant other doesn't automatically get access to it like
apparently they do in the US, and the army didn't exactly think
that it was their problem, either. Got to listen to a lot of that.
First world problems compared to Gaza, though. <br>
