نشرت صحيفة (Kuwait Times) قبل أيام تقريراً باللغة الإنكليزية حول قمة بالعربي، وقد تناول التقرير موضوع الابتكارات الهندسية التي صممتها ونفذتها في مخيمات اللجوء الفلسطيني في لبنان .

وهنا الجانب المتعلق بالابتكارات التي عرضتها خلال القمة :
Palestinian innovator Amer Darwich turned childhood curiosity into a practical invention. “Who among us has not made a paper ship or an airplane?” he asked, recalling how he modified toys as a child, converting a toy car into a boat.
“I took the electric motor out of the car, made some modifications to it, and added it to the small boat I had carved out of vegetable crates,” Amer recounts about those experiments that sparked his interest in technology and design.
After studying economics and working as an excavator operator, a hand injury forced Amer to pivot. Unable to drive, he developed Blue Drive 48, a smartphone-controlled system for operating heavy machinery, built from salvaged car parts and a programmable board. He hoped the technology would create new opportunities for people with special needs and lay the groundwork for broader applications in the future.
Amer’s innovations stem from necessity as much as personal passion. With wildfires on the rise, he created the Pulse Fire Fighter 48, a solar-powered, remote-controlled fire extinguisher capable of administering first aid. During the COVID-19 pandemic, he designed the Corona Fighter 48, a wireless charger and sterilizer, and the Full Body Sanitizer System 48. He also created Green Cool Land 48, an eco-friendly cooling system, and Tree City 48, which generates clean energy from tree movements.
Why “48”? It is a reference to the 1948 Nakba. “It is an attempt to turn tragedy into hope and progress,” Amer explained, advocating for a stronger Palestinian industrial base.
He ended with a clear message: “Necessity is the mother of invention, not the mother of imports. Our country has all the natural and human resources it needs. Why don’t we manufacture, innovate, and invent what we need? So our ships and planes don’t remain paper.”
