2023 Israel Grant

$55,000

IsraAID is working in eight different hotels in Eilat and the Dead Sea, serving thousands of those most immediately affected from the Gaza envelope.  In these hotels they:

  • Operate child-friendly spaces where affected children can play, process, and “be kids” amidst the chaos.
  • Set up learning centers, building temporary classrooms, and staffing them, allowing the children and their parents with structure, stability and routine.
  • Distribute resilience kits with stress relief activities for children and families.
  • Train local teams on self-care and stress relief to “help the helpers” and ensure they can continue supporting evacuees.
  • Create digital control hubs for each Kibbutz, to allow the Kibbutz leaders to manage logistics and organize their communities’ needs.
In the Dead Sea area, IsraAID co-chairs the information sharing forum for all civil society organizations and NGOs working in the hotels, where 16,000 evacuees currently live.
