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.

"My job is to help the community rebuild itself. They’ve been through a huge trauma and lost so many people. Together, we think about resilience, and plan the next day, the next month, and eventually coming back home again. I think it’s important that I was here on October 7 - It happened to me, to my family, and my community. It’s not just my job, it’s my life.”
