The People of the Holy Land are Suffering
Over 20% of Israel’s senior citizens live alone with no one to care for them, and many live far below the poverty line.
Tens of thousands of Israelis suffer from a lack of proper housing. Without the bare essentials for survival, breaking the cycle of poverty becomes nearly impossible.
Israel welcomes all Jewish immigrants returning to the homeland without quotas, yet many of these families face severe economic struggles upon arrival.
Students from low-income homes often lack the basic resources needed to succeed in school, further trapping them in the cycle of poverty.
There are 179,600 Holocaust survivors in Israel. 33% live below the poverty line, and forty-five percent report feeling entirely alone. After all they have endured, these survivors deserve our utmost emotional and physical support.
Roughly 2 in 5 Israeli children go to sleep hungry because their families cannot afford food. Research shows that a lack of basic nutrition at a young age causes severe developmental issues and long-term health risks.
