NASA on Tuesday is set to launch a daring robotic rescue mission, a longshot bid to prevent one of its aging telescopes from vanishing into dust. If successful, the effort could pave the way for giving other satellites a second life. The operation is set to last several months, kicking off with the launch of a robot designed to rescue the Swift space telescope that's currently falling towards Earth. Without intervention, it is expected it will soon burn up in the atmosphere. (Photo by Handout / NASA / AFP)

Al-Dabary, a former engineering student, put his skills to work for families who, like about 85 percent of Gaza's population, lives in displacement with no direct access to the heavily damaged electric grid. According to a World Bank assessment, more than 90 percent of the tiny territory's power generation and distribution capacity was destroyed in April 2026, mostly by Israeli air strikes that have pounded the territory, destroying residential buildings and infrastructure.
