The organization finances, among other things: the evacuation of children and families from the attacked areas; support for families who have lost relatives or their homes, psychological support for affected children.

Kibbutz Kfar Asa was hit hard by Hamas attacks. Many residents were murdered, houses destroyed. Some families lost everything.

Now, in these difficult hours, the moment has come to reach out to the survivors for all physical and psychological needs in order to rebuild the kibbutz. This will take time, but the community needs help now, today. Help to breathe life back into Kfar Asa.

NABU together with its youth organization NAJU (Naturschutzjugend im NABU) has been active in German-Israeli exchange for many years and supports its partner in the current situation: The Society for the Protection of Nature in Israel (SPNI), currently provides a roof over the heads of more than 300 people from the embattled areas in its training and information centers. It plans to convert more centers into shelters to accommodate even more families who have had to leave everything behind.

Many of the SPNI's sources of funding have currently dried up, as it finances itself largely through tours and offerings at the centers. However, funding is desperately needed for supplies and logistics. You can help support people in danger while ensuring the continued existence of Israel's largest conservation organization.

The Leo Baeck Education Center, exchange partner of the Mannheim Youth Academy, is now active on several levels of emergency response:

• They collect/provide needed equipment for soldiers and reservists who have been called up within hours and take them to their collection points.
• They prepare food, clothing and toy packages for families who had to evacuate and leave behind all what is left of their homes.
• They arrange host families from the Leo Baeck community for families who have fled the south and need a roof over their heads.
• They have over 140 children a day who spend the entire day with them. The children get a break from the atmosphere of war, and the families – many of whom have a parent either drafted or serving in the emergency forces – get much-needed help caring for the children.

As a mixed Jewish-Arab organization, Givat Haviva seeks to create space for grief, anger, fear, as well as empathy, both within the staff and in the neighboring Jewish and Arab communities, and to give people the opportunity to process with each other the horrific events. Givat Haviva's educational campus of just over 16 acres offers guest rooms, classrooms, an auditorium, a dining hall and many other programmatic facilities.

Emergency aid is currently being provided. Already the day after the Hamas terrorists attacked southern Israel, Givat Haviva opened its facilities to those among the population who need it most: There are already several hundred Israeli citizens* from the south and by now also from the north of Israel housed on the campus. Givat Haviva provides them with shelter, three meals a day, and a variety of activities to try to ease the pain they have suffered from the terrible experiences and to give them and their children some sense of security, comfort, and safety.

In order to finance the accommodation of the refugees and the subsequent processing, you can donate to the German Circle of Friends:

Neve Michael Children’s Village is the only multi-disciplinary children’s home in Israel to offer a wide range of professional services on one site, such as psychiatry, psychology, occupational therapy, social work, conventional and para-medical therapies and education.

1. Manpower will increase 2 shifts instead of one shift.
2. A significant increase in emotional help by therapists.
3. Equal external activity, plays, etc.
4. A significant addition to the security of the place includes a night watchman in each children's residential house.
