Dear friend and supporter, Happy Passover to you, your family, and loved ones! During this time of reflection and remembrance, it's also a moment to turn our attention to the significant challenges facing our community in Israel. New data was just released by the Finance Ministry showing the profound impact of the ongoing conflict on the Israeli economy and its people. In response to the crisis, Israel's debt climbed up to an unprecedented $43 billion, with over half of that amount accruing since the outbreak of the conflict in October. This increase in debt, now representing 62.1% of the GDP, signaling a stark escalation in economic strain. This financial burden means less funding for public services and higher costs of living for everyday Israelis, and especially impacting the low-income population, making our mission at Feed Israel even more critical. In these challenging times, Feed Israel remains a beacon of hope. In the recent weeks, your generous support has enabled us to distribute thousands of food packages to evacuees and families affected by the economic fallout. Yet, our work is far from over. There are countless others who still need our help. Please donate now to ensure we can continue to reach those most affected by this war. |
