A war has been erupted in the West Asia region between Israel-US and Iran after air and missile strikes on Iranian territory on 28th February 2026. The situation becomes serious and uncontrollable when the Supreme leader of Islamic Republic of Iran Ayatollah Ali Hosseini Khamenei was assassinated. During disaster or war conditions, it is very important to have basic things for survival. Power may be out, cell towers may go down, and roads may get blocked. In such a moment staying connected is everyone’s top priority.
Here are the five things one must have if they are in a war-prone area
20,000mAh Power Bank
If the power-cut happens for a day or longer at that point of time, a high-capacity power bank with atleast 20,000mAh so you can charge your phone several times. A power bank with multiple USB ports and a in-built flashlight is a better option
Portable solar charger
If power supply is not coming back anytime soon at that time, a portable solar charger comes into the game. You need to just unfold it to keep it in sunlight, and you can charge your phone, power bank, or small electronics. This portable solar charger becomes a big savior when one is stuck outdoors or in rural places.
Hand crank radio
Most of the time in war, like situation internet is down here, a good old-fashioned battery-powered or hand crank radio helps you in receiving official updates. Some radios even throw in a flashlight, an SOS alarm, and a USB port for charging your phone.
Satellite Phone
When everything is down, such as cell towers and landlines, here a satellite phone helps you to stay connected. This will help you in sending SOS signals and short messages even when there is no coverage. Some satellite phones can also share GPS locations. These gadgets are costly but during such condition these turn out to be a life saver.
