What's a reputable charity for donations to citizens of Gaza?
This is not intended as a political post, hopefully its allowed. What are some charities I can donate to that are reputable, and will use the proceeds to help civilians in Gaza?

Medical Aid for Palestinians seem to be one of the few UK registered charities who are managing to get work done on the ground. Israel and Egypt are still (afaik) blocking a lot of aid getting through.
Also I want to share that when I searched online for Palestinian NGOs, I got hundreds of results from an organisation called 'NGO Monitor' who claim to give unbiased information on NGOs. A lot of the information on their pages seemed quite emotive and unbaly, and did some digging. In reality they are a right wing Israeli organisation that just focuses on listing allegations of terrorism funding / sympathies against charities and NGOs that works in Palestine, they don't back up allegations with good sources and they don't give any other information on what the organisation does. So be mindful of that if you do any online research, they seem to have made sure searches for certain topics throw up loads of their pages, and they have a definite bias and reason for existence.
This is the wikipedia page for NGO Monitor and the founder of the site has been described as
In The Jerusalem Post, Kenneth Roth wrote that Steinberg shows a "disregard for basic facts" when writing about human rights.
Yeah I think it was the Wikipedia page that I read when I looked up who they are. They're also fixing search engine results because there's no reason why I in the UK should be getting so many results for an Israeli organisation when I'm looking for information on organisations in a different country. Well I mean there is a reason but it's not a good one.
