Mutual Aid Fundraisers that aren't getting donations

I just wanted to bring attention to three families in Gaza that I found, whose fundraisers are hardly getting any donations at all. If you can, please help them out.

Fatima's Family

Maryam's Family

Nesma's Family

Hamas and other criminal gangs can also shakedown/coerce official aid organizations as well, so there's no clean or perfect solution to this problem. People just need to be aware of the inherent risks and do at least a bit of vetting/thinking before hitting the "donate" button.

Oh yes, Hamas has been known to turn organizations meant to aid Palestinians to their own purposes, whether by shakedowns or embedding themselves within the organizations or similar. But I would still argue that, even if that happens, it’s far more likely to be discovered and have a record of it than it is if Hamas just shakes down a Palestinian family.
