Gaza's makeshift lights
Displaced people in the al-Mawasi camps in Khan Younis have built rudimentary wind turbines from salvaged bicycle and car parts and workshop scrap, generating electricity to light tents and charge phones amid the lack of a power grid and fuel. Developing the prototype took about a month and 12 failed attempts. It now provides lighting for around 12 tents, easing the burden and expense of searching for places to charge phones. The initiative comes amid widespread destruction of Gaza’s electricity sector, with about 80% of its generation and distribution infrastructure fully or partially destroyed.
