At the worst time of war the UAE medical team performs noble work saving precious human life in the Gaza Strip (“UAE working to provide Starlink service at Emirati field hospital in Gaza,” Feb.15, Gulf Today website).

At the time when nothing is safe in the Gaza Strip, the UAE has announced that it is working in partnership with various international and regional organisations and hospitals to introduce SpaceX’s Starlink satellite broadband at its field hospital in the Gaza Strip, which is highly laudable.

According to the report, in a statement, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs affirmed that this step further underscores the UAE’s unwavering efforts to stand in solidarity with the brotherly Palestinian people during the ongoing war. The Starlink internet service will be made available in the field hospital in the Strip, in order to enable potentially life-saving medical consultations via real-time video calling. Hats off to the UAE leadership who offer firm support to their brothers and sisters in the Gaza Strip.
