<p>Hey everyone,</p><p>Gaza Verified is now open again for verification calls in 2026.</p><p>The new process for signing up for verification calls uses sign in with Mastodon and should remove the last remaining technical hurdle that was giving some of our friends in Gaza a hard time (adding the verification link to your Mastodon account is not intuitive in the current Mastodon interface). With this new flow, you won’t have to, we do it for you.</p><p><a href="https://gaza-verified.org" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>gaza-verified.org</a></p><p>Also, please remember that Israel, USA, and Germany are continuing their genocide of the Palestinian people with the complicity of the UK and almost the entire rest of the EU.</p><p>And we can help, if only a little.
