I spoke to Kat (katalunia.eth) who is behind a project called ETH Evacuations which is taking donations to pay for families to get out of Gaza through the Rafah crossing. Kat is a product manager and startup builder, most recently Head of Product at Zora and travelled to Gaza in June 2023 to be a mentor in product management for the community at Gaza Sky Geeks.
She is accepting ether and other tokens on the Ethereum mainnet, Optimism, or Base so that she can get the money directly to those who are on the ground. I myself donated already to the cause which you can find social proof for here.

ICYMI I’ve written a book about, no surprise, blockchains through a left political framework! The title is Blockchain Radicals: How Capitalism Ruined Crypto and How to Fix It and is being published through Repeater Books, the publishing house started by Mark Fisher who’s work influenced me a lot in my thinking.
