Emergency Aid for Israel – Ready Meals for Israeli Refugee Children

YOU - Nothilfe Israel-Mahlzeiten

Since October 2023, people in the war zone have been living with constant uncertainty. They are exposed to daily violent attacks, explosions, skirmishes and rescue operations, while experiencing great human suffering. Many families with children have been left homeless by the war, children have been orphaned, personal belongings have been destroyed, and beloved family members have lost their lives. Life has changed dramatically, and the people who have fled or have been displaced, especially the children, have suffered severe trauma. In addition, there is a lack of food, hot meals and facilities for preparing them.

As is so often the case, the war has hit the civilian population the hardest, both in Gaza and in Israel, with children being particularly affected by having to live under these harrowing conditions. The YOU Foundation’s emergency aid programs focus on supporting children on both sides of the conflict.

Here a brief description of the Israeli emergency aid program:

As many children as possible will receive nourishing and warm meals to ensure their nutrition and health needs are met and to alleviate hunger.

The emergency aid project “Ready Meals for Israeli Refugee Children” provides refugee children between the ages of 2 and 15 years with warm cooked meals in 50 different locations in Israel.

The beneficiaries are children who have had to leave their homes and are now living in temporary accommodation.

So far 3,000 children have received regular hot meals, and 10,169 meals have been cooked thanks to this project.

Our target at the end of the project: 30,508 ready meals for 6,000 children.

At three cooking sites, volunteers prepare and package fresh meals and deliver them to the places where children are currently living outside the “danger zones” in Israel.

Fresh meat, vegetables, fruit, bread and cold cuts are used for the meals. The children also receive little treats from time to time to hopefully spread a small amount of joy and optimism.

Those affected by the war are experiencing great fear in this very unsettling time. This project will help in creating a sense of daily normality, safety and food security.

An important contribution to ensuring nutritious food and to promoting child health in times of war is being made thanks to this project.

The meals provided by the YOU Foundation and your generous donations have gone a long way to help people overcome despair and tragedy, hunger and loneliness.
