ORGANIZATION DESCRIPTION
GRANT PURPOSE
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.
