Hello. Sorry for interrupting. Furthermore, my opinion may be somewhat off the mark.

Regarding how to keep caring Palestinians whose accounts have been suspended by mastodon.social, I strongly feel that it makes more sense to track these individuals on a campaign basis rather than on an account basis.
However, if we limit the problem to what is happening on Gaza verified, there seem to be several provisionally feasible options.
From a layman's perspective, directly granting authentication to the campaign page would be the simplest solution, but that would be technically difficult.
Another point to make is that tracking people's activity on an account basis has significant advantages. This means understanding people not as fluctuating numbers, but as living human beings, constantly cared by human eyes and with constant communications between us. This condition is essential when operating on Mastodon.
On the other hand, there are currently only about a dozen suspended accounts. This order of accounts could be handled in some kind of batch process.
This work doesn't necessarily have to be done by Gaza verified staff.
Even now, when someone whose account has been suspended creates a new one and resumes their activities, information is shared among us supporters. However, these informations are currently scattered. It is possible to share these more systematically. For example, if a support organization like FediporGaza, to which I belong, were to link informations about suspended and newly created accounts to the campaign pages, list up them and share them, the confusion could be greatly reduced. Ultimately, human eyes are necessary. Monitoring numbers alone is meaningless.
However, in this case, we must avoid sending the wrong message to the people of Gaza that "accounts can be disposable." In the long run, if the people of Gaza are to consistently seek support here, it is still desirable to use one account carefully.

Above all, these actions are certainly necessary, but they are not a fundamental solution. We are like cleaning cupboards in a house engulfed in flames.
The root cause of everything is " DONATIONS ARE NOT COMING IN !!" We must prioritize solving this difficult and structural problem.
