gofundme is very strict so if theyre on gfm theyre either legit or you’d be refunded if not.

Keep in mind people in Gaza usually have English as a second/third/etc language, or don’t speak English at all, so often use templates to make their fundraisers. And obviously machine translation too.

Yes it is difficult to get money into Gaza but it does happen. I have a friend who evacuated in 2024 and he’s talked quite a bit about how it works; his friends and family who are still there do occasionally receive money from outside which lets them buy the extremely expensive vegetables and flour.

Some are for sure verified, and presumably some of the unverified ones are also legit. I’m sure at least one is fake, but we know that there are real ones, too.

gofundme isn’t supported in Palestine (or any surrounding countries, and surprisingly, not even israel) so at best you’re going through a middle man
