Medical Situation in Israel – Volunteers Needed
The emergency medical situation and resources in Israel have been stretched thinner than ever before. The Israel Ministry of Health has set up a special web page for doctors, nurses, paramedics, and others, to sign up to volunteer if the situation continues to decline and they are no longer able to meet the medical needs for Israeli citizens. Please share this website with any medical professionals that you may know.

Israel Needs Your Support
Even though the war in Israel is only a few days old, there is much that is needed. And while the full extent of their needs is yet to develop, your donation now will help our partners on the ground provide shelter for those who have lost their homes, trauma response for the victims, re-supplying hospital emergency departments, and even covering the cost of funerals.
