From my non-expert understanding, I’d say the issue is not a technical one (Bitcoin, Lightning, Cashu etc work as intended), but rather an awareness one. We’re so early that even the “then they fight you” phase has not even really started. No wonder, that the 90+% of the global populatio...

How do you propose fixing a distribution problem?

We didn't fail them. Even if the people had Bitcoin, all merchants, ATMs, POS are controlled by the colonist Israel. The plight of Gazans is much bigger than just being able to use money unfortunately.

I think internet connection must be hard to deliver in the area.
