My father was born in Gaza, but got out as soon as he could and went to college in the states. I'm glad this is happening! There's certainly talent there like everywhere else. A big problem I see with Gaza digging itself out of these problems is the destruction of infrastructure, inability to get supplies and the effect this has on the job market. Software development is one of those few professions that, as you touched on, allow Palestinians to find a somewhat stable flow of work.
Thanks for mentoring and doing what you can there. I'd like to go and see some extended family sometime myself.
Edit: How available are things like computers? I remember when my dad brought electronics over as gifts it was usually something more-or-less unattainable, but this was years ago: Super Nintendos and things like that.
- dopeboy 10y agoI didn't inquire but based on what I saw inside the incubator, it seemed computers were pretty available. The only iffy thing when it comes to access are 3D printers.
