About IsraAID:  It's mission is to support people affected by humanitarian crisis. It partners with local communities around the world to provide urgent aid, assist in recovery, and reduce the risk of future disasters. Founded in 2001, IsraAID has grown into an independent NGO and the largest humanitarian aid organization in Israel working in more than 60 countries and at any one time. That outward-looking focus changed on October 7, 2023, when Hamas-led terrorists attacked Israel, killing over 1,200, taking 251 hostages, and displacing hundreds of thousands. For the first time since its founding, IsraAID worked extensively within Israel, which became its main mission. It established a temporary elementary school for Kibbutz Be’eri, created resilience centers for evacuees, and eventually trained teams in 140 northern communities to support the return of displaced residents. IsraAID initially avoided involvement inside Gaza, assuming that as an Israeli-based NGO, entry into the Strip — and acceptance by partners there — would be impossible. However, in March 2024, the group was approached by international aid organizations it had worked with elsewhere who were operating in Gaza. These NGOs were struggling with Israeli bureaucracy, and security restrictions. The group’s first role was thus as a facilitator, liaising between aid agencies and Israeli authorities to resolve problems, secure permits, and facilitate the delivery of supplies to field hospitals and medical teams. A few months later, IsraAID began supplying medicine, coordinating trucks, building warehouses and launching two large projects inside the Strip to provide healthcare and clean water. It is actively engaged in these and other supportive humanitarian efforts in Gaza today.
