Most of these could be Egyptian scammers and you wouldn't know.
I don't think you actually looked into it, but posted this with the intention of putting emogirl down instead.
El Shab Hussein and Nabulsi are both Palestinian and have been working at connecting Palestinians (and also some Sudanese) with donations and resources for quite a while. The amount of effort they've put into vetting folks, checking in on them daily to make sure they're okay, etc is incredibly impressive.
After looking into their accounts for around a half hour, I'd say they're pretty legit, and calling Palestinians working so hard to help their communities in such dire times "some bored people on tumblr" is wack as hell. Please rethink the way you're interacting with these sorts of things.

I did not. You said yourself that Palestinians can't set up gofundme accounts by themselves. Forgive me for not spending half an hour to research about this. Also yes, no matter how you phrase it. Posting GoFundMe accounts on Tumblr is not something people usually do so I didn't say anything weird.
