As rockets continue to be fired on Israel from Gaza, JDC’s emergency response system has been activated to ensure the safety and well-being of the most vulnerable Israelis impacted by the escalating crisis. JDC’s network of programs for the most vulnerable have activated their emergency phone chains and are regularly checking in on those they serve, providing for their safety, and meeting their needs as the emergency continues. JDC is working closely with Israel’s Ministries of Social Affairs and Social Welfare, Education, and Health; the Home Front Command, and the National Emergency Network. JDC’s experience in responding to past emergency situations in Israel — during the second intifada, the Second Lebanon War, the Carmel Fires disaster, and Operations Cast Lead and Pillar of Defense — is being put to work to ensure that support and assistance can be delivered quickly and effectively. As we have so many times in the past, JDC stands shoulder to shoulder with all Israelis.
