In short:

1) The problem is lack of aid in parts of Gaza, not lack of aid waiting to enter the Strip.

2) Remote authentication is HARD: there are a lot of impersonators all over the world (looking for easy money).

3) Donating to individuals in Gaza increases inequality and local crime.

4) In addition: people may believe this to be a better initiative then donating to e.g. the Red Cross.

5) Israel may abuse this effort to claim that useful "aid" *does* reach Gazans.

It makes no sense to help a few Gazans while 2 million are starving (those without communication facilities having no chance at all).

If people REALLY want to do something useful: call upon your government to stop facilitating genocide by supporting Israel.
