Folks, I’m just putting the finishing touches on an update to the Gaza Verified site that will make signing up for verification as easy as signing in with your Mastodon account (with none of the manual adding of the verification link to your profile that proved to be a stumbling block for many).
I’ll be reopening sign ups today once I’m done with that.
In the meanwhile, please remember that there are folks in Gaza who are suffering through an ongoing genocide at the hands of Israel and its Western allies (US, UK, and the EU) so if you can help, please do:
https://gaza-verified.org/donate/
None of us are an international agency and we can’t help everyone but you can help improve one person’s life and that of their family and that means something too, especially when the international agencies that should be helping are being prevented from doing so by Israel and the US.

Verified as in the ground in #Gaza and legitimately a Palestinian, not an Israeli nationalist.... OK
But please explain, if we send funds through 1 of the digital money transfer systems Israel is not blocking, how are the funds received and how are they utilized? Are babies dying from hunger and thirst and next door someone has water, food, medicine and IS SELLING IT in exchange for FUNDS?
Food, water, medical supply shortages are not the same as lack of funding for available resources. That is a political problem, for the hungry to solve against those guarding supplies.
If #Hamas did exist would they allow such practices (even if it is a middle east tradition to hustle for every bite of bread).
If you can't explain this then all this support and funding is going straight into IDF for arms and their benefit.
Please don't tell me you trust the integrity of Paypal or WesternUnion or that there are functional ATM networks in the rubble
