I feel like the most useful thing I can do right now is keep posting donation links for Israel/Gaza, so I’ll do that. And another reminder: People who are downplaying or outright ignoring the devastation in Israel so that they can support Palestinians *are not helping*. Please spend some time researching the many nuances of this conflict, and please don’t act like grieving Jews don’t matter. It’s possible to want a better way forward for everyone.
If there are any groups I should add to this list, let me know.
World Central Kitchen is feeding displaced families in Israel and working with a local partner in Gaza to distribute meals to Palestinians
Soroka Medical Center is handling the emergency medical response in Israel
The JDC helps Jews and others in crisis around the world
Save the Children is trying to get needed supplies into Gaza
American Friends of Magen David Adom is Israel’s first aid/first responder service
United Hatzalah is a volunteer emergency medical services organization that operates across Israel
Americares is trying to assist with people’s medical needs in Gaza
Doctors Without Borders is trying to assist with people’s medical needs in Gaza
The International Committee of the Red Cross is providing medical supplies and household items to people in Gaza and trying to help people in Israel locate missing family members
The Forward has a longer list of organizations that need help. And CNN has set up a fund that allows you to donate to multiple organizations at once, including several listed above.
Stay well and stay safe.
