We are raising funds for approved Palestinian Medical Organizations that are in desperate need in Gaza. Funds will go to ANERA, Palestinian Children's Relief Fund, Palestine Red Crescent Society and Medical Aid for Palestinians.
Red Crescent is Red Cross's marketed symbol for Islamic countries, as per Ottoman Empire's request circa 1906. Just in case it didn't ring a bell for anyone else.
It won’t get in unless Egypt opens their border which they won’t because they don’t care.
I don’t want to stop anyone from donating, but any supplies will likely sit in a depot until either sisi grows a pair (will never happen) or after the conflict is declared as over by Israel.
Or if by some miracle the USA convinces Israel to allow Egypt to open their border.
Small quantities of relief supplies do get smuggled occasionally, but without the border crossing, it won’t be enough.
For broader border context:
spoilerGaza borders Israel on all sides except southwest which it borders Egypt. Egypt does have the right to maintain their border crossing separately from Israel because they are obviously a different country. Israel won’t let any supplies though their side, which leaves Egypt’s border as the only viable option. But Israel will see this as Egypt getting involved, and will likely escalate by bombing southern Gaza (and the border) and maintaining air superiority over the border. Now if Egypt had a competent air force or military, they could get away with protecting their side of the border without starting a war by acting as a military pressure to Israel who wants the border closed. They don’t though, and they don’t really care that much about Gaza. They will opt to keep it closed because they don’t want to get involved with Israel at all. The only alternative would be if somehow a humanitarian agreement is made which Israel accepts, in which case Egypt wouldn’t have to defend their border so they would open it again.
