genuine question β how is donating money going to help Palestinians if no food is going in? What is the money for?
Medicine, water, supplies, food, fuel (much of it black market being upsold at egregious prices) β these all cost money and pretty much all Palestinians in Gaza have no source of income now. Itβs drops in the bucket compared to ending the siege and occupation but itβs one way to do at least something small to help. Others are in need of money to evacuate when the border opens again (which hopefully is asapβ¦), tuition and supplies for school to continue studies despite it all. Another fund is focused on trying to rebuild farmlands in Gaza to get food again that way.
I canβt tell anyone what to do with their money but I donβt think this mindset of βwell nothings going in so we canβt helpβ is helpful for people on the ground who are the ones saying that donations can and do help them survive.
