ISRAEL: Hope and Help for the War-Affected People
The ongoing conflict in Israel has left thousands of people emotionally and spiritually devastated. Significant loss of life, displacement, destruction of homes, fear of war spreading, and the associated financial risks have added to the sense of despair and trauma among the population.
The economic impact of the conflict is severe. Many are unemployed due to the halt in tourism, a major source of income for Israel. Industry is facing uncertainty as investors hold back and agriculture has been disrupted by evacuations, further adding to the economic strain.
There is an enormous need for practical and spiritual support for war-affected Israelis. Necessities such as clothing, food, hygiene, and household items are in high demand, and countless families are struggling to meet their daily needs. Parents have been drafted into service, schools have closed, and families under tremendous pressure are seeking hope for their future.
