DESCRIPTION:7amleh invites you to a webinar on the collapse of Gaza’s digital economy 
 under blockade and the destruction of telecommunications infrastructure. 
 Join Dr. Mohammed Alshurafa, author of the newly published report, as he 
 shares key findings and testimonies from Gaza’s digital workers, and 
 reflects on what the loss of connectivity means for livelihoods, survival, 
 and recovery.\n\nGaza’s digital economy has been pushed to the brink by 
 years of blockade and, since October 2023, by the widespread destruction of 
 telecommunications and power infrastructure. What once served as a fragile 
 lifeline for freelancers, remote workers, and digital entrepreneurs has 
 been severely disrupted, cutting people off from income, communication, and 
 the ability to remain connected to the outside world.\n\nIn this webinar, 
 Dr. Mohammed Alshurafa, author of “The Impact of the Gaza Blockade and 
 the Destruction of Telecommunications Infrastructure on the Digital Economy 
 Amidst Genocide,” will present key findings from the research, grounded 
 in survey data and first-hand testimonies from Gaza’s digital workers. 
 The discussion will unpack what the collapse of connectivity means in 
 practice, how people are navigating daily disruptions and exclusion, and 
 what the report’s recommendations tell us about the conditions needed for 
 meaningful and rights-based digital recovery.\n
