With no more internet connectivity now that Israel has severed all services and resources in the Gaza Strip, the only thing left is Elon Musk's Starlink – which the billionaire said is now available to internationally recognized aid organizations trying to deliver food, water and other resources to besieged Palestinians.

In a tweet, Musk announced that "Starlink will support connectivity to internationally recognized aid organizations in Gaza," adding that he and his team "will support the UN and other internationally recognized aid groups."

Musk's Starlink tweet was a response to another by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) expressing concern about roughly 2.2 million people who live in the embattled Gaza Strip.

"Journalists, medical professionals, humanitarian efforts and innocents are all endangered," AOC wrote. "I do not know how such an act can be defended. The United States has historically denounced this practice."

AOC's tweet was also a response to another by Husam Zomlot, the Palestinian Ambassador to the United Kingdom, who tweeted that he has desperately been trying to reach his family in Gaza for hours "with no success."

"All telecommunications and internet have been cut, while Israeli strikes is [sic] literally destroying Gaza from air land and sea," he added. "How many more innocent people: children, parents and grandparents will be murdered ..."
