Donor support is enabling rapid, life-changing assistance for communities facing direct impact in Israel. In cities like Arad and Dimona—recently hit by ballistic missile strikes—this support is helping injured, displaced, and bereaved families access critical resources in the immediate aftermath of crisis.

Through UJA’s emergency allocations, delivered in partnership with The Jewish Agency for Israel (The Jewish Agency) and the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (JDC), established response mechanisms have been activated at scale. These systems—built and strengthened over time—are now providing urgent financial aid, medical support, and recovery assistance where it is needed most.

These efforts are already making a tangible difference. Families who have lost loved ones, sustained injuries, or been forced from their homes are receiving immediate support to help stabilize their situation and begin the path to recovery.

UJA Impact in Action

• Fund for Victims of Terror (The Jewish Agency). Rapid financial assistance for bereaved, injured, and displaced individuals and families
• Direct Community Support (JDC). Emergency medical kits, increased capacity for first responders, and reinforcement of local social services
• Ad HaBayit (JDC). Flexible assistance for residents whose homes were damaged, supporting early-stage recovery and stabilization

Backed by a recent $1.5 million emergency allocation, these efforts are expanding to meet growing needs, ensuring that support reaches those affected quickly and effectively.

The Current Reality on the Ground

• 4,500 injured
• 4,500+ displaced
• Hospitals operating in emergency mode, including underground facilities

As the situation continues to evolve, the importance of a rapid, co-ordinated response is clear. Through trusted partnerships and pre-established systems, donor support is not only addressing urgent needs—it is ensuring that communities facing the immediate impact of attacks are met with care, resources, and the ability to begin rebuilding.
