Is it ? Is it really ? Let me break down the everyday economy in Gaza in the simplest terms I can for you:
Everyone wants to get out of Gaza. This is the primary thing you need to understand. Everyone needs money so they can pay predatory Egyptian border guards to be let through. But since the border is currently completely closed, they mostly need money to buy everyday things and provide for their families.
This is where Gaza's record inflation comes in. Everyone wants to get out as soon as possible so everyone wants to accumulate enough money as soon as possible, including vendors who are selling supplies and food in the first place.
Our current society makes us blind to the relation between product and producer but understand this: almost every vendor in Gaza is Gazan themselves and they have families who they need to take care of as well. This requires money.
@iyadsobhegaza and @rubashsblog (who this commenter was accusing) can't just wait till they've reached their final goal to withdraw the money. They need to withdraw whatever ammount they need every couple of days so they can continue buying supplies. Their campaign has been going for several months and they've been withdrawing from it based on what they need for all those months.
Say they raise $100 one day and know that the next day, they will need to buy medicine and vegetables. A box of meds costs $50 and a couple of vegetables together also cost around $50. So when they withdraw the $100 they raise that day, that means it's been used up.
This combined with the inflation means that money gets used up really fast. Furthermore, the ammount that the p*yp*l shows they have raised does not reflect the ammount they have saved up. It is simply the ammount that has been donated so far.
They have raised exactly $24 USD in the past day.
That's $1 per hour. The minimum wage in the US is $7 per hour. That is already very little, so why are you making them have to go by with even less ? They haven't raised anything even close to $100 for the past several days.
Eman, their organiser who is in Egypt (since p*yp*l doesn't work in Palestine), can't send them these meager amounts because p*yp*l and predatory banks have high transfer fees which will eat up everything if she tries to send it.
They literally have no money.
Now that that's over, I won't take up even more of your time. Here's the current most important points:
Both Iyad and Ruba have gotten their previous GFMs fucked over and lost $38k in total.
Ruba recently got a terrible stomach injury during displacement
Iyad has diabetes and fluctuating blood pressure which impacts his mobility. He needs meds for this.
Winter has come to Gaza and Iyad has several small children who he needs to keep warm and healthy.
They literally just got displaced a few days ago and had to spend all their savings on re-buying their tents and supplies
Yes, they're vetted. (No. 90 and 173 on the spreadsheet)
I dont know what else I can say. I am literally begging you to donate. They have so little and these ill-informed comments are doing nothing to help. You have the privilege of saying this while they don't even have the privilege of having a stable source of income, not to mention having to survive an active genocide. Please donate.
