Hi everyone,
Yesterday, @joynewacc and I had video chats with four people/families from Gaza. Iād like to welcome them all to Gaza Verified (https://gaza-verified.org/) and I hope you will all give them a warm welcome to Mastodon and the fediverse and make sure that they are safe and taken care of here.
They are:
⢠@soma23 Eslam Mohammed, an artist and photographer. She is outside Gaza but her family are in Gaza.
⢠@Selaa Aseel, who is outside Gaza and trying to help her family in Gaza. We spoke with them all yesterday and I got to meet and talk to little Aseel (we have lots of Aseels) and her brothers in Gaza too.
⢠@ayaa7 who is outside Gaza with her family in the danger zone in the North (sorry, I initially said Aya was in Gaza, she just contacted me on Signal to clarify. Iām updating this post accordingly. Thanks, Aya.)
⢠@nourgaza who is stuck with her two daughters in the danger zone in the North.
Nearly all our incoming accounts are either families in Gaza in danger in the North that need to be evacuated South or have family in Gaza that need the same thing.
I will update our Gaza Verified Emergency Appeal with more information from our new families as I have them.
I am also trying to finalise four more calls for today.
Once Iām done with that, I will get to calculating our financial situation today and planning todayās distribution of funds.
Please, if you can, share out emergency appeal and letās keep it going as weāre adding new families all the time.

Thank you all again for standing with our friends and families in Gaza.

PS. They will be adding the verified link to their profiles in the coming hours. Please bear with us as there are sometimes technical barriers to getting it done quickly and correctly.
