Want to help people in Gaza suffering through a genocide perpetrated by Israel and supported by many of our own governments?
Here’s a list of everyone we’ve verified using video calls with links to their fundraisers, ranked by how much they managed to raise in the last week:
Gaza Verified
We’ve personally had video conversations on Signal with the people from Gaza whose Mastodon accounts on the fediverse are listed here and we verify that their accounts are genuine. – Joy & Aral Balkan
(gaza-verified.org)
PS. They’re all on the fediverse (see https://gaza-verified.org/people/) so many also give some of them a follow? If you can’t help financially, a few words of kindness also go a long way (and who knows, you might just make a wonderful new friend. I know that I’ve made quite a few.)

@aral How are they getting food? Where are they buying it? As heartbreaking as it is for them individually, I've always felt like it helps more people if I support the UNRWA, the World Food Programme, and similar - people working to get resources in for everyone.
I'm thinking about the people who can't get Internet access and who don't have access to the modern banking infrastructure. I want to help everyone, not just a few. So yes, we need to give, and to support more than just a few organizations, but we need to help at scale.
This feels like giving a food bank a can of food as opposed to giving them money they can use for efficient bulk purchases.
It's also important to address medical needs, so that's Doctor's Without Borders and the Middle-East Children's Alliance and similar.
It shames me that my country is co-owner of the genocide.

@mason International orgs are being stopped by Israel from doing their work.
They buy food from markets. It’s still a city of two million. Even if it has been and continues to be decimated by Israel.
Your donations to their accounts go directly to them and help them directly.
