Emergency War Appeal

On 8th October, Myisrael launched an Emergency Appeal to respond to the devastating attacks of the previous day. Immediately, the UK community rallied and donations started coming in thick and fast. This generosity meant that we were able to respond to urgent needs such as essentials for army units including sleeping bags, thermal underwear, blister plasters and rehydration drinks. We sent activity kits made by the elders at Click to occupy children in the South spending hours in bomb shelters. We funded therapy dolls for use in group trauma therapy, support groups for partners of fallen soldiers, training for professionals responding to a mental health emergency helpline and so much more. The donations have slowed down, but there is still so much to do and Myisrael’s extensive recovery efforts will continue in the months and years ahead.
