Twitch streamer and progressive political commenter Hasan "HasanAbi" has raised over $750,000 with his donation campaign to aid Palestinian medical facilities during the ongoing Israeli-Hamas conflict in Gaza and other affected areas. The content creator has been advocating for a peaceful resolution to the war and is currently trying to raise about a million dollars to help Palestinians get medical aid in the war-torn areas.
While discussing the latest news stories about the conflict, HasanAbi's donation campaign crossed the $750,00 goal after he contributed $50,000 to push it over the number. Fans have lauded the Twitch streamer's efforts to aid those in need, with one Redditor saying this in direct response to the campaign reaching its last goal:
"Amazing work from Hasan and his community raising money for people in need"
Others in the community have noted that this is not the first time this year that the political content creator has donated money and raised funds for a cause. During the devastating Turkey-Syria earthquake in February, he raised over a million dollars worth of financial aid to the victims. As a self-proclaimed leftist, he is also a leading donor to the Amazon Labor Union, the company that owns the website where he regularly livestreams.
