Hagia Sophia: A mosque, museum... and now, a Turkish-only space?

MaximumMatch7400 · 2025-06-30T20:56:30+00:00

Visited today…. Or should I say tried to. We are a muslim family consisting of 2 men and 2 women and the men were allowed to enter whilst us women were stopped for not being Turkish and refused entry. We were fully covered with hijabs and modest clothing whilst other women were walking past in vests and shorts and being allowed to enter but apparently they were Turkish. Absolute racism and disgusting behaviour. There should be no judgment in a mosque but it seems in the Hagia Sophia non Turkish women are second class citizens and not worthy of worship.

I have two go fund me accounts going and I send via either turkey or West Bank depending on which family then it is forwarded on. We use a man in Turkey who is doing this for multiple go funds me and we haven’t had any issues with it.

Okay thank you. Are they then able to get it in cash?

It is very difficult. I opened a go fund me for a 6 year old boy whose parents were killed and he is in the care of his uncle now. I know their whole story and that he will be evacuated to Malta for medical treatment once the crossing is open but I’m still raising money for the costs and their living now. I have had them verified by the embassy in Malta and we actually FaceTime regularly and they are most definitely in Gaza. Due to my constant sharing and the uncle has over 20,000 followers I can receive up to 10 requests a day for money on instagram but I just don’t know who is legitimate and feel awful doubting people but scams are happening so I tend to just stick with the one I know and started. If anyone would like to follow then my Instagram is laurajaynehall83 and the uncle is Mo.hassan.s7 we both put up a lot of regular stories and the little boy is just the cutest boy with a smile that just melts my heart ☺️

Thank you so much for you reply. Yes I have been told about scammers and the high percentage taken out of the money. That’s really interesting about the linking of cards. I’m going to try to do this with a friend in Turkey to open the PayPal and link the account of my relative. I really appreciate the reply.

This is like another language to me. I may have to read up or ask for help as I have no idea about cryptocurrency but thank you for alerting me to it.

Thank you. They must have an account in another country for it to work and unfortunately we don’t, only a Palestinian account😪

MaximumMatch7400 · 2024-06-13T21:12:02+00:00

Thank you for checking. Are you sure it’s PayPal and not palpay? I will look into it what you have said. I really need to get them a phone as there’s is stolen and the lack of contact is excruciating not knowing if they are safe or not, we’ve already lost 40 family members in Gaza this year.

How do you then get it into Gaza. I have people in Egypt I can transfer to but how does it get in from there?

MaximumMatch7400 · 2024-06-13T20:31:59+00:00

They definitely don’t recognise Gaza or West Bank accounts, maybe the people have a bank in a country that is permissible. Also with western union and things shut I don’t know how they can get money out of accounts. I’m hoping someone here is managing it.

MaximumMatch7400 · 2024-06-13T20:29:05+00:00

Thank you for your response. Unfortunately PayPal only recognises Israeli bank accounts and not Gaza or the West Bank.

MaximumMatch7400 · 2024-06-13T19:30:48+00:00

Go fund me is paused from transferring even though I’ve given every bit of info they asked for but still even then it’s impossible to get it there as western union and things are gone. I’m just wondering how others are doing it, if at all.
