Hi everyone,

@joynewacc and I could only hold two video chats today (Internet access has been destroyed in most/all of North Gaza as Israel continues to graze Gaza to the ground, raining death and destruction in its ongoing genocide).

The lovely duo we’d like to welcome to the Gaza Verified family today are:

• Mohammed (@Mohammedjhad)
• Mitqal (@mittall)

Please give them a warm welcome to Mastodon and the fediverse, follow their accounts, and, if you can, please help them with their fundraisers and please share this so others might also.

Things are even worse than they were now that Israel has started the next phase of its genocide with the ground offensive yesterday. They need your help to get to safety in the South and to stay safe.

‪https://gaza-verified.org‬

Thank you!

💕

PS. They will be adding the verified links to their accounts soon (some have, others are working on it). Internet access is not always stable in Gaza and everyone has a different level of technical proficiency. Please keep in mind that there is a genocide and famine going on.

@aral thanks for providing this service; there are so many asking for help out there and it's difficult to know who's real and who's a scammer taking advantage of a horrible situation

@darkuncle Thanks! Was talking to a infosec friend the other day and they mentioned how inexpensive it would be for a state-level actor to fire up a bunch of bots to sow distrust if their goal was to silence Palestinians online. Been thinking about that ever since…

At least automated accounts are easy to identify and ban.

It’s a small sample size but everyone we’ve spoken to so far (22 people) has been a genuine person who is suffering through genocide and famine in Gaza at the hands of Israel.
