TL;DR Summary

Elon Musk announced that SpaceX's Starlink will provide connectivity to internationally recognized aid organizations in Gaza, following a communications blackout in the region due to intensified Israeli bombardment. The blackout has raised concerns about the safety of innocent civilians and the ability of medical professionals and humanitarian efforts to operate effectively. Musk's response came after Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez criticized the blackout, and the International Telecommunication Union condemned it.
