Imagine 10 out of every 100 people no longer exist as they did before the war.
254,000 lives have disappeared from the Gaza Strip… The British newspaper The Guardian reports that the population of the Gaza Strip has decreased by approximately 254,000 people (about 10.6%) compared to previous estimates.

Some of the accounts on #GazaVerified have experienced suspensions or limitations from other instances for various reasons over these months.
In order to make things more transparent and reduce the number of requests to our small team to investigate every case, I have created a little script that checks once a day the limitations imposed on any accounts in our program: https://gaza.onl/suspensions
This page updates once a day and it checks suspension statuses across the 100 most popular Mastodon instances. Feel free to use it to verify the state of your accounts.

Hey everyone,
@aral and @joynewacc had the honour of speaking to one family from Gaza today and we’d like to welcome them to Gaza Verified.
They are:

Please give them a warm welcome to Mastodon and to the fediverse, follow their account, and donate to their fundraiser if you can (and please share this so others can do the same).
Also, remember that you can find all our families who have fundraisers listed at the following page, ordered by those who have received the least in donations over the last week (on a rolling basis):
https://gaza-verified.org/donate/
Thank you for making Mastodon and the fediverse a safe space for our friends in Gaza and for your support.

The issue with the #Chuffed campaigns on #GazaVerified over-reporting total amounts in case of failed payments has now been fixed.
It’s still a big fluke on Chuffed’s side (they keep returning Unconfirmed transactions on their API for some reason), which forced me to implement some complex (and 429-prone) look-back reconciliation logic on each round of scraping, which in turn means that it may take a bit longer for Chuffed donations to be archived if we hit cool-down windows.
But I’ve been monitoring the situation since yesterday night and it seems that things are stable now - no suspicious duplicate transactions.
Please let me know if you spot any recent mistakes.
Note that the fix is not retroactive and many duplicate donations still exist on the database. It’ll take me a while to clean them all up.

So guess who wrote a convoluted date comparison conditional instead of using `Temporal.ZonedDateTime.compare()` like an intelligent human being and ended up hitting an edge case where future scheduled calls started getting cleaned off the database instead of past ones?
I’ll give you a hint: has two thumbs and his name is Aral 🤦♂️
Anyway, just restored things from yesterday’s backup and sent a direct message to everyone scheduled for a Gaza Verified video verification call apologising for the confusion and explaining what happened.
Moral of the story: stick to the Temporal API and use its methods if you’re implementing anything even remotely non-trivial involving dates, especially if there are timezones involved. (You can use a Temporal API polyfill in Node.js – I’ve been using temporal-polyfill.)
Now I’m going to expire for the evening.

Hi everyone,
I’m very happy to announce that Aya (@rania40) will be joining our little team of volunteers at Gaza Verified¹ to help us carry out verification calls.
Aya is in Gaza herself with her family (she’s @Rania’s daugher) and she’s studying to be an English translator.
You can find her fundraiser (which is run for her by @kathimmel) at:
https://chuffed.org/project/161851-help-aya-go-to-uni-and-survive-in-gaza
Welcome to the team, Aya, and thank you so much for volunteering your time and effort to help others in Gaza while facing the exact same unspeakable hardship yourself.
💕
Hey everyone,
***Update***
We’ve raised the $500 we needed to replace Aseel’s (@aseelfromgz) broken phone.
Thank you all so much!
Please remember that you can find a list of all our Gaza Verified families to donate to at:

@aseelfromgz We just received a $280 donation + fees from another anonymous donor so the amount has been raised.
Thank you all so much!
I’m personally very much looking forward to welcoming Aseel back to Mastodon and the fediverse with her new phone and you’ve also enabled her to keep helping her fellow Gazans with her volunteer work at Gaza Verified.
Sending you all lots and lots of love.
