In response to terror attacks on Israel and the unfolding humanitarian crisis in the region, Direct Relief - an apolitical, non-sectarian organization dedicated to humanitarian principles - is pledging its full support to help care for civilians.
Direct Relief has announced an initial commitment of $1 million towards humanitarian relief efforts in Israel.
In addition to cash assistance, Direct Relief has offered its extensive medical inventories and other resources, including international logistics assistance needed to mobilize medications or medical commodities in Israel.
Direct Relief is currently coordinating with health-focused nonprofits in Israel to assess needs and direct support as requested, including to the Barzilai Medical Center, a 600-bed hospital that received 250 patients in the first 12 hours of the attack, 50 of whom were in critical condition. The hospital expressed an urgent need for funds to purchase emergency supplies and equipment to support patient care. Direct Relief is also in contact with other organizations providing trauma care and medical services to people in Israel who have been impacted.
When authorized humanitarian channels are reestablished to help innocent civilians in Gaza caught in the crossfire, Direct Relief is prepared to assist.
