The Ongoing Conflict Between Israel and Palestine
Tragic loss of life and destruction continue in the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine.
IsraAID, founded in 2001 by Shachar Zahavi and Mully Dor, is Israel's largest humanitarian aid non-governmental organization (NGO), specializing in emergency response and international development worldwide[1][2]. Originating as a coalition of Israeli aid groups, it has evolved into an independent entity with approximately 300 staff members globally, led by CEO Yotam Polizer and global chair Meira Aboulafia[1]. Its core mission is to support people affected by humanitarian crises through urgent aid, recovery assistance, and disaster risk reduction, regardless of race, nationality, religion, or disability[1]. IsraAID operates in more than 60 countries, responding to natural disasters such as earthquakes and hurricanes, epidemics, and conflicts. Its work encompasses disaster relief activities including search and rescue, medical assistance, rebuilding communities and schools, and distributing aid packages. The organization places particular emphasis on Water, Sanitation & Hygiene (WASH), public health, medical education, mental health, and psychosocial support[1][2]. The organization is funded by a diverse group of private donors, foundations, community organizations, and corporations primarily from Israel, North America, and other global sources[1]. In 2013, IsraAID US was established to support the parent organization financially and engage American Jewish communities by building humanitarian awareness and professional networks[3]. Notable achievements include sustained involvement in major global crises, building local capacity, and providing mental health care alongside physical aid, which distinguishes IsraAID in the humanitarian field. Its model combines rapid emergency response with long-term development projects, creating resilient communities worldwide[1][2]. IsraAID's approach, blending humanitarian aid with technological and community-driven solutions, positions it as a significant player in the global aid sector, appealing to business and technology audiences interested in innovative disaster response and international development strategies.
