Raccoon🏳️🌈<p><a href="https://techhub.social/tags/PSA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PSA</span></a> Reminder that the numerous accounts popping up claiming to be people in <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Gaza" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Gaza</span></a> trying to survive <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Netanyahu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Netanyahu</span></a>'s attempted <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/genocide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>genocide</span></a> are not verified, and are, as far as <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/moderation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>moderation</span></a> can tell, mostly <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/scam" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>scam</span></a> accounts.</p><p>There are international organizations on the ground, trying to smuggle in food and medical supplies, and sneak people out. They are not charging money to <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/palestinian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>palestinian</span></a> families, and as anyone in a disaster zone can tell you, money is effectively worthless when basic infrastructure is gone.</p><p>I do not personally see any reason someone from <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Palestine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Palestine</span></a> would be asking for money, unless it is to try and get some hoarded supplies or secure passage out of the area. Once again, that's not only difficult, but there are international organizations already smuggling supplies in and people out.</p><p>If you see these accounts, please do not give them money, as some are even believed to be fronts for terrorists like <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Hamas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Hamas</span></a> or pro-genocide groups. Report and let a <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/moderator" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>moderator</span></a> figure it out.</p>
