Gaza turns rubble into power with homemade wind turbines

AI Summary

A former engineering student has built homemade wind turbines from scrap and salvaged materials to provide electricity to displaced families in a camp near Khan Yunis. The turbines offer a local source of power amid the destruction of Gaza’s grid and limited access to electricity.

Above a maze of tents in a crowded displacement camp in Gaza, homemade wind turbines made from scrap metal and salvaged debris spin in the sea breeze, bringing electricity to struggling Palestinians. In the southern Khan Yunis camp, Kamal Al-Dabary, a former engineering student, has put his skills to work for families who, like most Gazans, live in displacement with no direct access to the tiny territory's shattered power grid.
