Israel.

Today in Israel one third of Holocaust survivors living in Israel are poor¹. About 850,000 children live in poverty², and 75 percent of impoverished Israelis miss meals because they simply can’t afford to eat³. Israel’s West Bank has been hit particularly hard, with the unemployment rate and food insecurity level rising to 25 percent in 2009.

From helping Holocaust survivors and victims of disaster to providing assistance to hungry families and creating jobs for disabled persons, Operation Blessing is helping bring compassionate care and relief to Israel’s families in need. Partner with us
