Residents of a displacement camp in Gaza have constructed homemade wind turbines from scrap metal and salvaged debris, Al-Monitor reported. The devices spin in sea breezes above a tent settlement, providing electricity to Palestinians amid ongoing shortages.
The turbines represent an improvised response to severe energy constraints in the territory. With conventional power infrastructure damaged, displaced residents have turned to locally assembled renewable technology to meet basic electrical needs.
