The activist Rain Dove has been able to distribute aid directly to Palestinian refugees while presenting as openly queer, and did not have a negative experience. Yes there is significant stigma and suppression in that part of the world —but this is not unique to the Middle East. LGBT folks are unfortunately familiar with a certain degree of hatred against them, regardless of where they live. What matters, the common theme, is that they recognize mutual dehumanization, and have empathy and a desire to change that.
87% of aid given by Israel before the ceasefire was intercepted/stolen before it reached the distribution point. UN monitored and updated the figures on their web site daily.
UN refused to allow the IDF to deliver it because that would be politicizing aid apparently.
Seems odd that this gay person managed to deliver anything or was even allowed into Gaza.
It is like the gays for Palestine.

Yup, this Rain Dove has been caught out lying in social media a few times…
