In response to escalating humanitarian needs, Direct Relief today committed an initial $75,000 to relief efforts in Israel following deadly terrorist attacks that began over the weekend.

Tuesday’s commitment of funds will go to the Ashkelon Foundation, a nonprofit focused on health and well-being in Ashkelon, Israel, located in southern Israel near the border with Gaza.

The foundation is supporting 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.

Medical staff are continuing to care for the influx of patients, even as rocket attacks have shaken the hospital, shattering windows in the children’s ward.

The hospital has expressed an urgent need for funds to purchase emergency supplies and equipment to support patient care.

Direct Relief is also coordinating with other health-focused nonprofits in Israel to assess needs and direct support as requested. It will continue to respond to specific requests for assistance and provide additional updates as the situation evolves.
