Praise Report - Holocaust Survivor Event

In honor of the Holocaust Survivors from Lod, a grand party for Israel’s “Tu b’Shevat” commemoration was held by Israel Relief Aid in January.

189,000 Holocaust Survivors live in Israel, of which 45,000 live below the poverty line, according to the annual report of the Holocaust Survivors Welfare Assn in 2015. According to the report, 30% of Holocaust Survivors reported that they were forced to give up on food and 25% on medicines and medical care because of the economic situation.

39% of the Survivors stated that the relationship between revenues and expenditures does not allow them to live with dignity, against 31% last year.  In addition, 27% of the Survivors reported that they were not able to heat their apartments last winter, 73% suffer from health problems,  20% do not feel safe in their homes and 45% feel lonely occasionally or most of the time.

Israel Relief Aid arranged for a special singer, tree fruit and party fare, special dances, speakers and games with prizes.

With leftover funds, a needed water cooler and water filter machine were purchased for the elderly.  This is an important gift and one that will last!  Thank you for help to fund an enjoyable time to the Holocaust Survivors and bring them these needed water appliances!
