In this difficult time of warfare, following the murderous attack by Hamas terrorists on the communities of the Gaza envelope, KKL-JNF stands by the affected communities and operate to help assist them immediately.
KKL-JNF's board of directors decided last night to provide the Gaza envelope communities with an emergency assistance of 9 million shekels, including immediate support for security needs and the rehabilitation of the security and infrastructure of the communities.
The emergency assistance will include, among other things, mobile shelters, generators, equipment for the communities' emergency response teams (TZAHI), emergency perishable equipment, computing aids, and equipment for tanks of emergency response teams in communities located up to 4 kilometers from the border.
Additionally, KKL-JNF has launched a fundraising campaign in collaboration with global JNF organizations to gather donations for vital needs to strengthen the periphery in the south. It will also assist in acquiring 10 ambulances totaling approximately 10 million NIS.
KKL-JNF has already begun assisting in the transfer of thousands of residents from the South to accommodation centers in central Israel, where activities that allow relief are taking place to help residents refresh after the difficult events.
KKL-JNF Chairwoman Ifat Ovadia-Luski: "KKL-JNF is mobilizing for the residents of the South, and as an immediate response, will transfer an emergency assistance to the communities for the rehabilitation of their security infrastructure after the severe damage they suffered in the atrocious terror attack. In addition, we have worked to transfer thousands of residents from the South to a safe place for a number of days. KKL-JNF is working for the benefit of the southern region and the Gaza envelope, even on regular days, and in this difficult period, this assistance is a Zionist national mission a mission of utmost importance. Together, we will win!"
