United in Crisis: A Plea for Support as Israel Faces Unprecedented Challenges
Israel is grappling with an unrelenting assault – one of the most devastating attacks ever faced. The International Jewish Chesed Foundation is helping to provide food, medicine and other vital supplies for Israelis in need.
Israel finds itself thrust into an unprecedented crisis, facing a harrowing situation that has left a deep scar on the collective spirit of its people. The gravity of this catastrophe is unparalleled in the region’s history.
Tragically, over 1,200 innocent citizens and soldiers, targeted solely because they were Jewish, have lost their lives. More than 2,800 people are wounded, with many in critical condition and facing dire hardships.
As exchanges of fire and missile attacks persist, and security forces strive to regain control amid the chaos, thousands of citizens remain in the dark about the fate of their loved ones.
Israel stands on the precipice of a long-term war, its duration uncertain.
In response to this unexpected and devastating assault, the State of Israel hastily mobilized over 400,000 reserve soldiers. However, the shortage of supplies and food, both for soldiers and families along the frontlines, remains a critical issue that demands immediate attention.
Urgently required are substantial quantities of military and humanitarian supplies, baby food, toys for children, food packages, medicines, and clothing for thousands of soldiers stationed in the conflict zone. Additionally, thousands of families, confined to bomb shelters, are asking for help, and the response must be swift.
Trauma victims are in desperate need of medical and psychological care. Children who have lost parents or have been taken captive depend on our support.
Soldiers, in the midst of conflict, seek spiritual protection through tzitzit (knotted ritual fringes) and special tefillin sets (phylacteries), and while thousands have been distributed, the demand remains substantial, requiring further assistance.
All supplies are sourced from volunteers who offer their services at cost, without profit. Transportation and distribution are handled by selfless volunteers who seek no compensation.
We are appealing to you to help us help our brothers and sister in need. Your support is a lifeline for so many needy Israelis.
