Itch.io
Whatever you think of it, what has happened in recent weeks between Israel and Palestine is terrible, especially for having involved hundreds of innocent people who found themselves in the midst of attacks and reprisals. To help these people, Itch.io has created a very interesting new bundle: with only $ 5 you can get your hands on over 1000 indie games and do some charity at the same time.At this address you can participate in the Indie bundle for Palestinian Aid by itch.io.
With only $ 5, but you can donate more, you can get 1019 independent games. There are over 500 DRM free games for Windows 10, 300 for Mac, 200 for Linux and 32 for Android. They may not all be masterpieces, but the aim is to raise $ 500,000 to send to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency in order to give it funds to bring food to over a million Palestinians in need. In addition to food, mental and physical support will be given to these people.
For the moment they have exceeded 288 thousand dollars, or 57% of the final goal. There are still 5 days left before the end of the initiative.
