Displaced Gazan generates electricity with makeshift wind tribunes

Above rows of displacement tents in Khan Yunis, a makeshift wind turbine spins, generating electricity amid chronic power shortages.

Above rows of displacement tents in Khan Yunis, in the southern Gaza Strip, a makeshift wind turbine spins, generating electricity amid chronic power shortages.

With no work or income for three years, the displaced Palestinians couldn't afford to buy solar panels. "That's when the idea of a wind turbine came to mind. Why not harness the wind?" says Abu Ayman, a displaced Gazan who built the turbine.
