From the very beginning, our mission has been to provide a reliable, fair, and ongoing verification service, addressing one of the biggest challenges facing donation campaigns: verifying the accuracy and credibility of their information.

Through careful review and consistent follow-up, we have worked to build trust and transparency in a space where both are urgently needed.

Over time, GazaVetters has earned the trust and respect of many, thanks to the precision, honesty, and integrity that define our work. Maintaining these values has not been easy our entire team is based in northern Gaza, and we have continued our efforts despite unimaginable hardships, repeated displacement, lack of food and electricity, destroyed homes, and frequent communication blackouts.

Clarifying Our Flagging System

Recently, we have noticed some confusion regarding the statuses we use when we flag a campaign.

We would like to clarify what each term means and prevent any further misunderstandings.

1. Spam / Bot

*Spam refers to unwanted or repetitive messages that are irrelevant, annoying, or purely promotional (such as random comments or direct messages).

*Bot refers to an automated account, not a real person that posts or sends messages using scripts or automated tools.

Many spam messages originate from such bot accounts.

When a campaign or account is flagged as Spam/Bot, it means we have detected patterns of automated or repetitive behavior that may disrupt or mislead the community.

2. Scam

A scam involves deception, manipulation, or unfair behavior, whether or not it is technically illegal.

Examples include:

* Providing false or misleading information,

* Extorting others or demanding money in unethical ways,

*Threatening or harassing other blogs or organizers with hate campaigns.

*Forging the verified names in the spreadsheet or manipulating their status.

When a campaign is flagged as a Scam, we issue a warning to everyone to avoid engaging with or donating to that campaign until further notice.

3. Update Needed

This status means the campaign itself is still valid and legitimate, but some information requires correction or renewal.

For example:

*The campaign link no longer works,

*There is duplicate or outdated information,

*The organizer has changed details that need verification.

In such cases, we pause the verification temporarily until the updated details are confirmed.

👉 For any flag not mentioned above, you can contact us to clarify its meaning and level of importance.

We also understand that mistakes can happen, and from our side, we believe every campaign deserves a second chance once corrections are made and transparency is restored. 💚

Our goal has always been, and will always remain, to protect both donors and organizers alike, and to ensure that help reaches those who truly need it.

My baby sister Maryam still isn't feeling well. If anything happens to her, remember I begged you for your help.

It takes a headline about a global war to reveal how fragile your life is. You stop obsessing over your five-year plan and start memorizing the specific sound of your partner stirring their coffee. You will look at the people in your living room and realize how violently careless you were, acting like you had centuries left to spend. It turns out that the boring, quiet moments were the only ones that were ever real.

Go from five o'clock in the morning to work in a school for children's education, basic education, a distance of at least 13 kilometers on foot and the return is the same thing. I go back in the sun to receive a salary that does not make me rent a place to live away from the rats that you all know. I recently cleansed a limit in the destroyed neighborhoods, so I ask you for a generous donation and please donate to me.

If you think that your donation, even if it is 1 dollar, does not do anything, you are wrong. Your donation for any amount, even if it is small, means a lot to me and relieves me of a very big burden.

Fixed at 2000 and donations are slow and also I am unable to publish daily to get more donations I want to reach 3000 now

Whats amusing to the rest of us is how you all continue to try and label anyone who criticizes Zionists as "antisemitic" effectively watering down the definition of the word. You and the state of Israel continue to endanger Jews globally when you try to tie your disgusting ideology to Judaism

It is perfectly okay to criticize Zionists! I’ve done it before, some of us can be insane. But what isn’t okay is spewing hatred and Jewish blood libels against Zionists, which quickly becomes spewing hatred and Jewish blood libels against any and all Jews online and in person, which quickly becomes terror attacks. I wish this wasn’t true! I wish you could criticize Zionists without devolving into Jew hatred and attacks, but a lot of antizionists end up defending terror attacks such as Bondi beach or the Michigan elementary shooting.

We don’t endanger Jews globally. Jews are under constant threat globally and Israel is like the one place a Jew can go and know they won’t be yelled at in the street for wearing a kippah, or looking visibly Jewish at all. Where they know they won’t be blocked from entering their university because of their Judaism.

this isn’t a genocide. It’s not being done with the intent to ethnically cleanse Palestinians. People die in war, sadly. That doesn’t make it a genocide. In almost the same amount of time, over 500,000 Ukrainians have died in war. That isn’t a genocide, it’s war. People die in war.

it’s like:

yeah seriously everyone, 6 million Jews died in the Holocaust, but have you considered there needs to be a 50th Muslim state in the world?

Emphasis mine:

“It’s an entire nation out there that is responsible. It’s not true this rhetoric about civilians not aware not involved. It’s absolutely not true. … and we will fight until we break their backbone.” -Israeli President

Israeli Minister of Defence: On 9 October 2023, Defence Minister Yoav Gallant in an Israeli Army ‘situation update’ advised that Israel was “imposing a complete siege on Gaza. No electricity, no food, no water, no fuel. Everything is closed. We are fighting human animals and we are acting accordingly.” He also informed troops on the Gaza border that he had “released all the restraints”, stating in terms that: “Gaza won’t return to what it was before. We will eliminate everything. If it doesn’t take one day, it will take a week. It will take weeks or even months, we will reach all places.” He further announced that Israel was moving to “a full-scale response” and that he had “removed every restriction” on Israeli forces.

Israeli Minister of Energy and Infrastructure: ‘Tweeting’ on 13 October 2023, Israel Katz stated: “All the civilian population in Gaza is ordered to leave immediately. We will win. They will not receive a drop of water or a single battery until they leave the world.” On 12 October 2023, he ‘tweeted’: “Humanitarian aid to Gaza? No electrical switch will be turned on, no water hydrant will be opened and no fuel truck will enter until the Israeli abductees are returned home. Humanitarianism for humanitarianism. And no one will preach us morality."

Deputy Speaker of the Knesset and Member of the Foreign Affairs and Security Committee: On 7 October 2023, Nissim Vaturi ‘tweeted’ that: “[n]ow we all have one common goal — erasing the Gaza Strip from the face of the earth. Those who are unable will be replaced.”

Israeli Army reservist “motivational speech”: On 11 October 2023, 95-year old Israeli army reservist Ezra Yachin — a veteran of the Deir Yassin massacre during the 1948 Nakba —reportedly called up for reserve duty to “boost morale” amongst Israeli troops ahead of the ground invasion, was broadcast on social media inciting other soldiers to genocide as follows, while being driven around in an Israeli army vehicle, dressed in Israeli army fatigues:

“Be triumphant and finish them off and don’t leave anyone behind. Erase the memory of them. Erase them, their families, mothers and children. These animals can no longer live. . . Every Jew with a weapon should go out and kill them. If you have an Arab neighbor, don't wait, go to his home and shoot him . . . We want to invade, not like before, we want to enter and destroy what’s in front of us, and destroy houses, then destroy the one after it. With all of our forces, complete destruction, enter and destroy. As you can see, we will witness things we’ve never dreamed of. Let them drop bombs on them and erase them."

Some WIPs. Pencil sketch to lineart to (ongoing) basic coloring. I’m not 100% sure of the colors honestly, so I might try a few combinations before I get to the heavy stuff.

I finally finished this.

Chuffed link

@raneen21 and @aooh3 are my friends. They are in Gaza, Palestine, with their family. They lost everything in the bombings and are now in poverty and homelessness. Their 1-year-old baby is in a respirator; he has very dangerous lung cancer and they need to pay $900 more before the 10th of April to get his treatment. My friends don't have that money. They can't help him alone. Please, I beg of you, don't just reblog. Donate, whatever you can. $40, $20, $10, $5, whatever you can, it will all be useful. Thank you so much.

Their account is vetted by @90-ghost here, by @gazavetters (#576) , and by @bilal-salah0. This Chuffed fundraiser goes directly to them; for transparency, you can dm @raneen21 or @a00h3 if you want to confirm it.

PLEASE, HELP MY FRIENDS' BABY LIVE!!

$3,200/$4,100

You saw this plea, you read my words, you knew his vision was fading, and you chose silence.

The doctors were clear, without hesitation: Without this eye surgery, he will become blind. Not a possibility… but a future waiting to happen.

This is not just about an operation. This is about his ability to see the world, to see his family, to live with dignity.

Just $10 from 50 people could save his sight. An amount that may mean little to you… but means his entire world to him.

If darkness takes his eyes, remember… you had the chance to help him see again. Your silence is not neutral. It is a choice.

I am a father from Gaza. 🇵🇸🍉

Tonight, my child is sleeping next to me in a house that is already destroyed. The walls are cracked. The ceiling could fall at any moment. We live near the “Yellow Line,” under Israeli military control. Gunfire is not a distant sound here — it is part of our daily life.

Every single day, bullets are fired around us.

Every single day, shelling shakes what remains of our home.

Sometimes I hold my child in my arms when the explosions get closer. His small body trembles. His heart beats so fast against my chest. He does not understand war. He does not understand borders. He only understands fear.

I am his father — and I cannot protect him.

I cannot stop the bullets.

I cannot stop the shelling.

I cannot even promise him that tomorrow will come.

We are trapped in a place that is no longer safe for human life. I am begging for help to move my family to a safer area before we become another headline… or another number.

If 50 people donate just $25 each, we can gather enough to escape this daily nightmare.

For you, $25 might be a small sacrifice.

For my child, it could mean the difference between life and death.

Please — if you are reading this, do not scroll away.

Help me protect my child.

Donate if you can. Share if you cannot.

A father in Gaza is asking you for mercy. 🤍

Our previous campaign was unexpectedly closed due to our previous organizer’s bank issues, which resulted in a significant financial loss at a time when we desperately need every bit of support for a family of seven.

We humbly ask for your help in sharing our new campaign as widely as possible. It could truly ease even a small part of the hardship we are living through.

We do not know public figures or large platforms to amplify our voice. We rely on you, your kindness, your compassion, and your willingness to help this message reach others.

Please help. Please consider donating to our family. We are in true and urgent need. Please donate now. 🙏

Ramadan is the month of mercy. Please be part of that mercy. 🇵🇸💝

But we still need help. We are trying to raise enough to help me and my brother Ahmad pay our college fees so we can continue our education and keep our dreams alive.

We are also continuing this campaign to cover our basic life needs such as food, medicine, and daily essentials.
