The Best Nonprofits to Support Israel & Palestine Victims

What's happening:

  • Israel has declared war against Hamas after the terrorist group launched a surprise attack from Gaza into Israeli territory on the morning of Saturday October 7, the Jewish Sabbath and a major holiday.
  • In total, more than 1,400 Israelis were killed by Hamas militants, and over 100 civilians and soldiers were taken to Gaza as hostages.
  • In response, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared war on Hamas and retaliated with airstrikes that have killed at least 2,800 Palestinians, and another 9,700 wounded, per Palestinian health officials.
  • Escalation in the conflict will further endanger civilians on both sides, and humanitarian groups are working to provide support to those in need.
  • Please consider donating today in support of organizations aiding those impacted.

Organizations providing humanitarian aid:

Groundswell has put together a list of organizations on the frontlines you can directly support:

  • American Friends of Magen David Adom:  Magen David Adom ensures 33,000 paramedics, EMTS, first responders, and first-aid providers -- volunteers and staff -- have the training, equipment, and medical supplies they need to treat all injured and ill people in Israel.
  • Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF): As medical centers are overwhelmed, MSF is donating critical medical supplies to hospitals and health facilities in Gaza to respond to medical needs.
  • IsraAID:  IsraAID is partnering with local and civil society organizations to coordinate humanitarian efforts, providing psychosocial support, urgent aid to vulnerable communities, evacuees, and their families.
  • Save the Children: Save the Children has been working with Palestinian children since 1953, with a permanent presence in the occupied Palestinian territory since 1973. Their main aims are to ensure children survive, learn, and are protected from all types of abuse.
  • Palestinian Childrens Relief Fund: As a humanitarian organization, its teams are on the ground delivering crucial and life-saving medical relief and humanitarian aid where it is needed most.

The best way to support is to provide funding to one of the many nonprofits that are working to provide assistance to those impacted. You can support them directly today.
