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.
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.
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.

Many other orgs, like the ITU, and the IETF, are committed to the
continued free exchange of information, no matter what.

I am happy to see a worldwide ISP committed to the same principles.
