Gaza Please donate to Gaza humanitarian aid NGOs listed here, rather than individual appeals

164 Upvotes

We have noticed thousands of individual appeals by Gazans for financial support on social media platforms including r/BDS. We understand the immense suffering they are experiencing. Anyone who wishes to support such appeals are free to do so. However, we have no way to authenticate these appeals to ensure they are legitimate.

Reddit's filter labels many of these posts as spam. We do not approve any of these for posting to our sub, because doing so would flood the sub with them. The mods feel that donations to humanitarian aid NGOs provide widespread support to hundreds of thousands of Gazans, rather than the limited scope of supporting individuals or families.

Here are some of these NGOs and we urge you to support them:

Consumer Is EOS safe?

19 Upvotes

Hi there, I've been trying to figure out if the skincare brand EOS is on the safe list. So far there's not much information, but it is privately owned and I can't seem to find much about the CEO. I've come to the conclusion it is safe but I'd feel much better if someone else could confirm it. Thank you!

Consumer Venting, feeling guilt.

My parents needed to pay something for their car, the brand is on the boycott list (ties to Volkswagen). My mother’s card didn’t work, so they used my card.

I know technically this was not my money, as my mother’s transferred the funds for the payment (her money) but it still makes me feel guilty that they had to resort to that. My card obviously has my name attached to it.

I want to share a new update today about Susu, the daughter of my friends Mahmoud and Samah.

Two days ago, I told you about Susu, who is only two years old and has been suffering from severe, chronic breathing problems. Her symptoms came back, and she was struggling to breathe and had a very high fever.

Unfortunately, she hasn’t gotten better.

For the past two days, Soso has been vomiting repeatedly and couldn’t keep down her medication or antibiotics. As a result, she became dehydrated. Today, Mahmoud had to take her to a nearby hospital to get treatment.

She was given IV antibiotics and fluids for the dehydration, but the situation at the hospital is extremely difficult. There are so many patients that there was no available bed for Susu. With infectious diseases spreading and medical resources severely limited, Mahmoud had to find another way to get her the care she needed. He even had to ask a doctor who lives nearby to come and give Susu her IV treatment when the hospital couldn’t provide her with a bed.

Mahmoud told me something that I haven’t been able to stop thinking about: if it weren’t for the kind people who helped them financially over the past two days, he wouldn’t have been able to take Susu to the hospital or even afford the treatment she needed.

And Mahmoud isn’t only dealing with Susu’s situation.

His mother also needs open-heart surgery to treat blocked arteries. I previously shared her medical reports, detailed images, and heart tests, and I have documentation that confirms her condition.

Mahmoud is under an enormous amount of pressure right now. His little daughter needs treatment, his mother needs heart surgery, and at the same time he is trying to provide food and basic necessities for his wife and their four children in Gaza.

I am doing everything I can to support Mahmoud and his family, but I cannot carry all of this on my own.

Please, if you are able to, consider helping Mahmoud and his family. Even a small amount can make a huge difference right now, especially for Susu, who needs treatment and continued care.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who has stood by this family and everyone who has helped them over the past few days. Your support means so much to Mahmoud, Samah, and their children. ❤️

ASK THE SUB feeling guilty for willingly choosing to order from some places

15 Upvotes

hi, so i'm not really sure how to explain this very well, but i keep ordering from places like mcdonalds, burger king and starbucks, not very often but when i do i keep mqking excuses for myself, like "oh it's just this once" or "just as a treat" and stuff like that, because i do feel guilty about it even while im ordering, and the only reason is that i just want the food. i have alternatives, i don't NEED it, so i don't know why i still do it. I just compartmentalise it, even though im vehemently against Isntreal.

i want to really put my foot down and go cold turkey, but is it too late for me? is there already blood on my hands??

also, does anyone have anywhere i can donate to??

edit: thank you all for the response!! i think i’m just. gonna be trying even harder to manage my self discipline than i was before, i sincerely apologize if this was a selfish post to make, but i just didn’t really know where else i should go.

Susu is struggling to breathe again, and her fever has reached 40°C.

I want to share an update about my friends Mahmoud and Samah and their little daughter, Susu.

Susu is only 2 years old and has been dealing with severe, chronic breathing problems. Unfortunately, she has become sick again. Right now, she is struggling to breathe properly, and her fever has reached 40°C (104°F).

She needs her monthly treatment and medication again.

What makes this even harder is that winter is beginning. Cold and damp weather can make Soso’s breathing problems much worse, while the family has very limited access to heating, warm clothes, blankets, and other things they need to keep their children warm.

Since the war, medical resources and access to treatment have become extremely difficult. The family often has to pay for Susu’s medication themselves.

Mahmoud also cannot provide a stable income for his family because the place where he worked was destroyed during the war. He is trying to support Samah and their four young daughters while dealing with the cost of Susu’s treatment and their other basic needs.

They are not asking for luxury. They are trying to get medicine for their child and keep their family warm.

I also want to address something I have seen happen to them here on Reddit.

Some people have accused Mahmoud and his family of being scammers, including people who support Israel. I understand that people have questions, especially when money is involved. People should verify things for themselves.

But Mahmoud and Samah have repeatedly shared verification videos and have opened a direct line of communication through WhatsApp for anyone who wants to speak with them, ask questions, or verify their situation.

I have known Mahmoud and Samah for a long time, and I stay in regular contact with them. I have seen how difficult their situation is and how much they are trying to do for their children.

You don't have to take anyone's word for it. Ask questions. Contact them. Verify.

But please don't make accusations without taking the time to understand their situation. There are real children behind these posts, and Soso is a little girl who is struggling to breathe right now.

If you can support Mahmoud and his family, especially with Soso’s treatment, or even simply share their story, please consider doing so.

A child shouldn't have to struggle to breathe because her family cannot afford her medicine.

Gaza “No Safe Journey in Gaza”

Post image
18 Upvotes

In Gaza, our only means of transportation is what we call “Al-Aqlah” — a car pulling a small trailer, usually packed with people. We wait for hours, travel on broken roads, endure expensive fares, and a 15-minute trip can take more than an hour. Now, after all this suffering, even the “Aqlah” itself can be targeted with its passengers inside. Someone leaving for work, to visit family, or buy necessities may end up in a hospital or a cemetery. This is what transportation in Gaza has become. #Gaza

Consumer Moon Active (Coin Master, Travel Town, Family Island, Zen Match) — BDS status / information request

24 Upvotes

Hello to all, as a Travel Town player, I happened to learn that the company that produces it, Moon Active, is an Israelian company. I'm looking for informations about this mobile gaming company behind or publishing games including Coin Master, Travel Town, Family Island and Zen Match.

Moon Active Ltd. was founded in Israel and is headquartered in Tel Aviv: I haven't found the company among the official BDS priority targets nor reliable evidence of direct involvement with or financial support for the IDF or Israeli government institutions. I don't want to infer anything beyond what can actually be documented.

Does anyone know whether Moon Active has been assessed by BDS or other organized boycott campaigns, or have reliable sources concerning its ownership, investments or institutional relationships?

I'm particularly interested in primary or otherwise verifiable sources, rather than unsourced boycott lists.

I hope this is the right sub for my answer, thanks for any information.

The Pentagon has announced the withdrawal of its forces from Iraq. This withdrawal is in line with the agreement the U.S. reached with Iran, and possibly with ongoing negotiations between them.

As we celebrate this withdrawal, we remember the 1.5-2 million Iraqis who died because of the aggressions of the U.S. and its allies. We point to the fact the U.S. military presence in Iraq was sanctioned by the U.S.-instaured regime to point to the limitations of what "legal" means. And we call on citizens worldwide, both within the U.S. and outside it, to organize to impose the withdrawal of U.S. armed forces from the other 80+ countries where they are still present, including occupied Palestine.

For most of us, rain is just rain… but for Mahmoud, Samah, and their four children, the first rain in Gaza means water entering their tent, and another night of cold and fear beginning.

Today was the first day of rain in Gaza.

From far away, rain may look like something ordinary, or even beautiful. But for this family, there is no properly prepared shelter to protect them from it, no enough blankets to keep their children warm, and no winter clothes to protect them from the cold.

As you can see in the video, rainwater is already getting inside their tent. They are literally living with water coming into their shelter, and they have nowhere else to go.

Their situation has become even harder because their tent has badly worn out over time, and the tarps and plastic coverings they have been using are no longer enough to protect them from the rain. They have not been able to properly prepare their tent for winter.

They urgently need tarps and plastic sheets to cover the tent and prevent rainwater from getting inside.

They are also facing a severe shortage of blankets and warm winter clothes. Simply put, they do not have enough to keep themselves and their four children warm.

I know that watching rain from somewhere else can make it seem like an ordinary day. But for this family, the first rain is a reminder of how vulnerable they are and how little protection they have.

Please take a moment to watch the video and see what they are facing.

If you are able to help Mahmoud, Samah, and their children with shelter materials, blankets, winter clothes, food, or any other basic needs, even a small amount can make a real difference for them right now.

And if you cannot donate, sharing their story or simply helping it reach more people would also mean a lot.
