I know I've said this a hundred times but if you're worried about palestinian fundraisers being scams at least consider donating to MSF. It's a highly reputable organization which has broken its long-standing neutrality to denounce Israel in front of the UN. Here's all the aid MSF is providing to Gazans (documentation available in multiple languages).

warm winter clothes, especially for the children, who have outgrown the few things they were able to hold onto through the family's eight displacements

winterproofing for the family's tents

medicine and medical devices (braces, wraps, etc) for his sister, whose bullet wound has been healing very slowly due to the conditions she's living in

enough to cover ongoing daily expenses (food, internet, etc)

these donations get wired in to gaza in batches, so please understand they make a very tangible difference for the iwais family on a day-to-day basis. we're very lucky that, from all around the world, we can actually help them head off looming emergencies -- like the cold weather that's currently setting in!

🚨 Save Adam 🚨🚑

If you ignore this, you are condemning Adam to death

I speak to you from the heart of a mother who is watching her son collapse before her eyes 💔😥

My heart bleeds with pain for Adam whose weak body cannot bear the catastrophic environment in which he lives

He lost 15 kilograms of his weight due to the lack of special food for a disabled child who has difficulty swallowing and digesting

Now he suffers from a health problem that has affected his respiratory system as a result of the dust, destruction and polluted environment surrounding him

He suffers from muscle spasms due to the lack of medicine, as he needs medicine that he takes in two doses daily, morning and evening

Imagine with me, O human, that you have a disabled child and you stand helpless, unable to provide him with food, medicine or shelter, as we live in a tent that resembles a grave

Your donation may save Adam from death 🙏💙

Adam will enjoy health and wellness if you provide him with his food and medicine

on the "gazavetters" situation

For those unaware, the blog "gazavetters" which claimed to be run by legitimate Gazans on the ground and was verifying Gazan fundraisers, has been purged and a vague message was left on the blog seemingly discrediting vetting as a whole.

Myself and the team in @gaza-evacuation-funds are not associated with them and we never have been.

Their message is too vague to say what the actual intent behind it is, as it is written by ESL speakers. It seems to be criticizing the vetting practice rather than the fundraisers themselves but zionists will hear what they want to hear. The message is currently being co-opted by the racist and cruel "all Gazans are scammers" gang because of the vague nature of the message. Do Not be drawn in by that or fall into their racist trap.

Unfortunately it is hard to say the damage this vague message has done to many possibly legitimate fundraisers on the gazavetters list, as their legitimacy is now up in the air, in addition to every other gazan on tumblr fundraising for their families.

Though we are incredibly disappointed and puzzled by how things have been handled by gazavetters, we are investigating what happened there because we are commited to legitimate gazan fundraisers and deserving people continuing to get the support that they need.

Regardless of our findings, it is a reality that we may not be able to re-verify every single family on their list. And all we can offer is to try and shed more light on the situation. And unfortunate as it is that many families' legitimacy was harmed, we can't be held responsible for the actions of others.

Please avoid reblogging fundraisers vetted by gazavetters for the time being until we are able to confirm whether we can still consider these fundraisers as legitimate.

🚨 !! DONT SKIP !! donations urgently needed 🚨

✅ Verified campaign – please check the end of the story 🔍📌

I'm Anas Basil, a recent high school graduate with dreams of pursuing a degree in e-business management and building a career. However, due to my family's financial hardships, I enrolled at Khan Younis Training College (KYTC), affiliated with UNRWA. Sadly, the war has turned the college, once a beacon of hope and education, into a shelter for displaced families, stripping it of its educational purpose.

I completed high school with a 93% average, filled with excitement about continuing my education and securing a job to support my family. But like so many others, the war has shattered those dreams.

My younger brother, Ahmad, is 14 years old and currently in the third grade of preparatory school. We’ve always called him "Doctor of the Future" because of his intelligence and natural talent in mathematics. Unfortunately, due to the ongoing war, he has been deprived of schooling for the second consecutive year. In addition to his academic abilities, Ahmad has a passion for football and used to win tournaments.

Our Life in Displacement: The war forced our family to flee to Rafah, where we lived in a tent for several months. Each day, my brother and I would wake up to fetch water, gather wood, and light a fire to prepare food. Survival became our daily task, but we never gave up hope. The conflict affected us deeply, but it did not extinguish our dreams of education and a better future.

🚀 How Your Donation will Help us:

We are seeking €29,000 to help Ahmed and me leave Gaza, continue our education. More importantly, it will allow us to support our family, who have been deeply affected by the harsh conditions and skyrocketing costs of living due to the ongoing war in Gaza.

We've outlined how your donations will make this possible. You can find all the details in the campaign link below.

👉 Donation link: 🔗https://gofund.me/32e5e95e

Your contribution will not only help us escape the war-torn reality we live in but also give us the opportunity to rebuild our futures.

Every donation, no matter the amount, brings us one step closer to our goal.

With deepest gratitude, Anas & Ahmed

HELP AHMED AND HIS FAMILY COMPLETE THEIR CURRENT CAMPAIGN GOAL

My friend Ahmed and his family have been fundraising since April to try and raise the amount needed to evacuate, and he has just informed me that throughout these months, much of his money has been lost to taxes. GoFundMe takes a portion, transfer to his bank account takes a portion, and the withdrawal in Gaza itself takes a portion, leaving him with $700 of each $1,000 he withdraws. Due to the astronomical prices in Gaza and scarcity of goods needed to survive, his family needs at least $1,000 PER MONTH, and I would hate for them to dip into their evacuation fund. They’ve already had to do so, despite trying to save as much as they can to be prepared for when the border opens.

This is why we need to complete his family’s current GoFundMe goal and, eventually, increase it. This isn’t just about leaving Gaza. The border is currently closed, which means survival within Gaza so that safety can eventually be achieved is paramount. Due to blockades, this is the terrible reality of families the occupation has trapped. This money is life for them, both to leave and to live.

At €38,877, all we need is €1,123 to hit the current objective! This is easily achievable before 11/01/2024, after which we can raise what’s needed to be able to support Ahmed’s family through the blockade.

GOFUNDME LINK

Please give what you can. Could we try to reach €39,000 TODAY? That’s only €123 to go!

🇵🇸🙏Urgent call 🙏

🇵🇸

Genocide crushes all discussion.

There are no new conversations to be had about destruction, death and cruelty. After more than a year, there is no longer anything to say about the various media houses, companies and international legal bodies that aid and encourage everything that happens in Gaza. It is banal evil, it is colonialism. But even in these horribly banal circumstances, I think what continues to be a constant point of hope for the people of Gaza and continues to drive many of them to reach out to the world, is the support that people around the world have shown and continue to show. That's why I'm here asking you to help me survive this winter. This won't take much of your time, so please read: . I now have to take care of 5 children, the youngest of whom is Binti Ghazal, who can barely find any food because the price of infant formula is exorbitantly high in Gaza. The genocide affected my daughters and sons. They spent a whole year under bomb threat and now instead of being safe, they ask me if they will survive. They even said they wouldn't want to live if they lost someone. The family now needs clothes to keep them warm throughout the winter. My family is from the north and was displaced several times before moving to the south. Displacement is dangerous and a silent killer because essential things are often lost and cannot be replaced in time. Please keep in mind that the weather is already getting colder all over the world and, which only bothers us a little, represents a tragic situation for the people of Gaza. Families have no shelter and no way for tents to adequately protect from the cold winds and rain. So the immediate need now is warm clothes, which can cost up to $400 per person. With 7 people, they immediately need to collect at least $5,000 to buy the required clothes. So please boost donations.

Please remember that every donation, even if it's $5, is a ray of hope for families who have lost everything.

I'll keep this short: Nour's campaign has been stagnating and Tumblr keeps banning her accounts. If you can, please consider donating. She has five young children to care for (one immunocompromised), and many members of her extended family—who were already poor before the war broke out—now rely on this fundraiser to make it through the winter.

Currently: $34,770 / $90,000

Ahmad needs your help!

I know there are many people on tumblr in their 20s and going to college, and I hope because of that you can relate to Ahmad's story. Ahmad (@ahmadshamia ) is a 22 year old student of Al-Azhar University, who was in his 4th year of dental school. He was always seeking to learn more and achieved top of his class because of it. He has dreams to become a great dentist and was working hard to be able to pursue them.

Now, because of the war in Gaza, his dreams have been shattered, and his home has been destroyed. He is currently unable to continue his education, and his dreams and his future may slip through his fingers if he cannot continue it soon.

He is living with his family of 11 members in Rafah, in tents in terrible conditions. They have little access to food, water, and basic essentials. The temperatures are terrible and they are burning in the sun, while suffering from diseases due to the unclean conditions. Ahmad's family wants to escape to Egypt so they can seek treatment and their children can continue learning and building their futures in a safer place.

The longer Ahmad and his family are in Rafah, the more danger they are in. Israel does not and will not hesitate to attack civilians and refugee sites, we have seen them do it repeatedly before, and we have seen them do it again in Khan Younis. The situation grows more dire by the day. The time to act is now. Please donate to Ahmad's campaign and share it, by reblogging but also sending it to your friends and posting to other sites. This family needs your help. Ahmad needs your help. They are counting on you, do not let them down.
