SpaceX Chief Executive Elon Musk said that his Starlink satellite internet service has been activated in a hospital in Gaza, where many medical facilities have been destroyed by the onslaught, with the help of the United Arab Emirates and Israel, Reuters reports.

The Gulf Arab state’s foreign minister, Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, thanked the billionaire entrepreneur for supporting the UAE field hospital in Gaza, where many medical facilities have been demolished and medicines are scarce.

“Starlink is now active in a Gaza hospital with the support of [the] UAE media office and Israel,” Musk posted on X.
