Israel Emergency Aid is a rapid response project formed at the onset of the current war with Hamas, that is dedicated to providing immediate assistance to soldiers and civilians affected by the war. Our mission is to collect funds to swiftly fulfill specific requests from soldiers on the front lines with Gaza and civilians in need of immediate aid.
This project operates under the auspices of IsraelGives, a reputable nonprofit organization that has supported over 50,000 charitable causes since its inception in 2009.
