Description Build a cross‑platform mobile app (React Native) that ingests real‑time data from social media (Twitter/X, Telegram), local news, and user reports to display live incident maps, airstrike warnings, and safe‑route suggestions. Key features: push alerts with severity levels, encrypted family check‑in, offline‑capable maps (Mapbox), and a marketplace for verified emergency supplies. Monetization: freemium with ads; premium subscription ($4.99/month) removes ads and adds priority alerts + satellite map overlay; enterprise tier ($499/month) for NGOs to monitor staff safety. Start with an MVP covering Gaza and the West Bank, then scale to other conflicts. Tech stack: React Native, Node.js/Express, Firebase (real‑time DB, auth), Cloudflare for DDoS protection, AI moderation (Hive) to filter fake reports. Deploy via Google Play/Apple Store after beta testing with Gaza‑based volunteers.
Monetization Premium subscriptions (B2C), enterprise licensing to NGOs (B2B), non‑intrusive ads on free tier, and anonymized data sales to research institutions.
