Civil Support Coalition Providing Medication
And Aid To Over 30,000 Residents In Northern Israel
ZAKA volunteers have joined together with volunteers from Meir Panim soup kitchen and EZRA youth group to form the Civil Support Coalition which is providing over 30,000 residents in northern Israel with food, medication, toys and host families on a 24-hour basis. This assistance is being given in addition to ZAKA's daily tasks of helping the injured and dealing with those killed as a result of Hezbollah attacks.
Since Hezbollah attacks began on July 12th, the Coalition has provided support for the people of Northern Israel affected by Hezbollah attacks in the following way:
Over 3000 people have been provided with vital medication
Over 2000 items of medical equipment have been distributed to citizens who are mainly in bombshelters.
Over 5,000 hot meals are being distributed daily
600 packages of food have been provided to families which will ensure they have enough food for the next 10 days
400 children are being hosted daily in Day Camps with care services being provided for children with special needs
7000 packs of nappies are being distributed
Over 2000 families have been hosted by people living in the southern parts of Israel
ZAKA volunteers have also made thousands of visits to bomb shelters to help raise morale and assist anyone with special needs requirements.
After visiting the volunteers staff headquarters, Major General Jerry Gershon Cohen, in charge of Home Command, commented: "I was astonished by the number of calls being received and amazing at the instant response and support given by volunteers."
The Mayor of Safed, Yishay Mymon, added: We always knew that if ZAKA were in the field, we could rely on them."
Dudi Zilbershlag, Director of ZAKA, said: We cannot underestimate the severity of the current situation in northern Israel. People are without food, without electricity, without shelter and without vital medication. ZAKA volunteers, together with the other Coalition members, are doing everything we can to ensure that the needs of Israel's citizens are provided for during this difficult time. Any additional support we can be given will be much appreciated and I can't thank our volunteers enough for the tireless 24 hour service they are currently providing – we are indebted to them."
