      Scams are widespread, especially on social media.

      There’s also a long tradition of smaller organizations collecting money for Palestinian children, and then the money is funneled to Hamas.

      If you want to donate, great, but be careful where you send your money. There are legitimate aid organizations as well.

      Cadus does fantastic work in Gaza, Ukraine, and elsewhere. They don’t have such a huge overhead of promoters and admin like other organizations.
