Donors have expressed concerns after Givealittle shut down multiple pages designed to raise relief aid money for Gaza.

Givealittle has confirmed it's required to assess the risks amid concerns surrounding money laundering.

ReliefAid founder Mike Seawright says Givealittle can't determine where the money is going in a peer-to-peer donation situation.

"There are other issues of course, there's legal compliance issues that also go with that - but ultimately, giving is good and giving responsibly is also a critical part of that action."
