Emergency Response

Wherever we’re needed, we’re there.

Disaster relief and emergency response have always been a crucial part of what IsraAID does. During emergencies, our teams build strong relationships with new communities and partners on the ground, all for the purpose of supporting populations through crisis and toward a more resilient future.

Since its establishment, IsraAID has honed its expertise, responding to disasters, epidemics and post-conflict situations in every corner of the world. IsraAID’s teams are specialists in providing emergency medical care, post-trauma mental health support, essential relief items, and water, sanitation and hygiene solutions.

From the moment we arrive somewhere that’s been torn apart by disaster, we hit the ground running. We keep our Emergency Response teams nimble to give us the speed we need to help affected communities get back on their feet. Each response is implemented with local partners, and our first step is always to listen to affected communities so that we can co-create solutions together.

"Many water sources were destroyed due to Super Typhoon Odette. The main source of water was also destroyed, but with training and water filtration technology from IsraAID, the community can access safe drinking water. This training helped to improve the skills that are needed to use the systems and allowed us to help other communities in emergencies."
