@BCsven
It’s been a month, and now we need to pay the rent again.
I’m still displaced in the south of Gaza, and this rented place is the only shelter my family has.
I was verified by @aral
https://gaza-verified.org/people/@Aseelsehwel@mas.to/
I would never use anyone’s suffering, this is the life I’m living every day.
It really hurts to be accused when we’re just trying to survive.
I'm skeptical because there was a similar one before and when I asked how you even cash in donations or spend money in a "war" zone the post was deleted.
And your other post says you need $500 every week to feed 6 people. We were feeding a family of 4 on $100. It smells like a scam account.
@BCsven You're sceptical that rent needs to be paid every month?
Or that the people who have been blocked from most means of receiving money are afraid of telling the details of the last remaining methods, fearing they would also be blocked?
Or do you think that food in a place of ongoing genocide during forced starvation costs same as during other times in other places?
That's why I asked. Because any fake people ruin it for the real people.
Last post wanting money, I just asked in seriousness how does the money get to you, and how do you actually spend cash in Gaza? And they deleted the post altogether. So that tells me the person was fake.
This one says family of six, but the photos were of four individual people that didn't seem to be family unit. Usually a family in need posts a family photo, rather than random headshots.
Its OK to be skeptical and curious. Look how many fake Ukraine gofundmes there were when that broke out.
@BCsven
About the money, several options to receive it: Paypal, cryptocurrency, IBAN.
About the photos, I can say that not everyone is comfortable to share their pictures online, for different reasons.
And with the destruction that is happening where can you go to retrieve funds safely?
@BCsven
Mohammed made a very interesting thread about the money in Gaza, I'll let you read it:

Thanks, that's was helpful
@BCsven Coming with this "question" in the 3rd year of this genocide is a sure sign of your lack of any interest in how Palestinians in Gaza have been surviving till today.
@raphaellakay
See how nobody answers, but expect understanding.
And a fresh verified site means nothing in today's webscams. Its hard to prove somebody exists via websites
@BCsven
I was away so I was late to answer :)
Gaza Verified is run by Aral Balkan with help of volunteers: Joy and Aseel (another Aseel, not the Aseel from the post here) who are Palestinians. Casey and Fabio are also part of the team.
Verification is made by video call. Same as the verification on Radio Watermelon.
@Heidentweet
Thank you
@BCsven You're not curious. Than you would have found out by which means Palestinians in Gaza have been surviving this genocide during the last 3 years. You're judgemental and accusatory.
@zmicier
My approach may have been harsh, I gave seen too many grifts for Palestine and ukraine I guess.
And what is happening in Gaza is horrible, and the world's leaders are complicIt or actually sending aid while also arming Israel.
I still get the vibe from the photos in the funsig link that something is off. The one photo has a look like photo shop or AI. And they all seem the same age. Most with a family in need take a family selfie so you can see the family you are aupporting
