Northern Communities Launch Emergency Plan

IFCJ Canada  |  August 21, 2024

As Israel braces for a possible attack from surrounding terrorist groups, we’ve helped to provide a plan to deliver food to homes in the line of fire, especially for the weakest and most vulnerable, reports Ynet News:

Earlier this week, tens of thousands of dry food packages were transferred to emergency warehouses in the north, where they will be distributed if the war intensifies. An additional tens of thousands of packages will be delivered as needed, depending on how the situation develops…

In emergencies, communication is critical, but here too there are obstacles. Difficulties in reaching local authority offices can affect citizens’ ability to seek help and receive basic needs. This situation requires the renewal and upgrading of existing means to ensure that help reaches everyone. The system will be operated by Colel Chabad in cooperation with the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, which operates the National Food Security Initiative of the Ministry of Welfare in routine times.  These agencies will coordinate food security responses in the north during the emergencies, with oversight from the local authorities.
