do you know where are the the best places or mosteffective to donate to help palestinians atm? like charities ect
In terms of direct aid it is better to give money directly to families in Ghazza than to a charity. Charities, governmental and nongovernmental organisations &c., are seldom able to use funds to distribute aid right now, as few trucks are getting through, and none to the north of Ghazza.
Money given directly to families in Ghazza is used to help them cross the Rafah crossing into Egypt, and/or to purchanse plane tickets and apply for visas so they have somewhere to go after arriving in Egypt.
Direct aid to Ghazza:
- Help Christians in Ghazza get visas to leave
- Fundraiser to help Shayma and her family of 16 leave Ghazza (organised by Fardowsa. You may remember a link to a paypal going around to help Shayma; however, paypal has frozen those funds)
- Help Ahmed (@90-ghost) and his family leave Ghazza via ko-fi, paypal, or gofundme (@unionfish is offering stickers and prints in exchange for donations)
- Help a family of three in Ghazza join a family member in the UK
- Buy an e-sim for use in Ghazza and send it to the Connecting Humanity team by following the instructions here.
Interruption of arms sent to Israel:
- Palestine Action targets arms manufacturers in the US and UK
- Palestine Legal offers legal defense for those who get arrested &c. in the course of protest or sabotauge on behalf of Palestine
If you have some barrier to donating or to buying e-sims yourself (someone looking through your transactions, no room on your phone for new apps, don't want to mess up the instructions, don't have time to keep up with what's being called for at the moment, literally whatever), I can buy e-sims and move funds on your behalf. My venmo is @gothhabiba; paypal paypal.me/Najia; squarecash $NajiaK; DM me for Zelle information. Feel free to leave a note about where you want it to go (specifically for e-sims; aid to people in Ghazza; &c.)
You asked specifically about donations, but if you haven't looked into the boycotts being called for by the Palestinian Campaign for Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (PACBI) and the Palestinian BDS National Committee (BNC), I urge you to do so.
BDS chapters in your locality may be calling for their own boycotts, so look into that as well. Think creatively about how to minimise purchase of boycotted goods (e.g., getting your union to refuse to shelve Israeli groceries).
Monday strikes
The Palestinian Front for the Liberation of Palestine) (PFLP has called for weekly strikes on Mondays. Talk to your onion or coworkers, if you can. At least avoid making any purchases (goods, recreation, entertainment, food, &c.( on Mondays.
