About Us
Israel Emergency Aid non-profit organization
We're Israel Emergency Aid, an emergency organization born out of unfortunate events.
After the horrible events of October 7th, we received information that many of our fighters were in urgent need of combat and defense gear.
We're here to face the challenges head-on and secure victory!
Up to this point, we've managed to raise nearly 15 million dollars from supporters who recognize the importance of the IDF's fight against terrorism and its role in safeguarding the only democracy in the Middle East. Every single donation has gone toward outfitting our fighters with essentials like helmets, vests, knee pads, field clothing, and more.
Our mission is far from over, and we're committed to ensuring that every fighter has the gear they need to triumph over terrorism. Join us in this critical effort.
