UK Charities raising money to support those affected by the current conflict
Please donate what you are able to support the victims of the ongoing attacks.
In addition to JLC member organisations Magen David Adom UK, UJIA and WIZO UK, we have listed UK-registered charities who are currently fundraising for support efforts. If you know a UK-registered charity that is not on this list that is supporting the current crisis, please email us at info@thejlc.org.
JLC member organisations Emergency Appeals:
Magen David Adom
Magen David Adom is Israel’s national medical emergency, disaster, ambulance and blood service. Since 2006 Magen David Adom has been officially recognised by the International Committee of the Red Cross as the national aid society of Israel. Since the outbreak of the most recent Iranian bombings, MDA has launched another emergency appeal, Emergency in Israel: MDA Responding Now.
UJIA Emergency Appeal
Israel is once again facing an intense and escalating wave of missile and drone attacks, with air raid sirens sounding across the country as defence systems work to intercept incoming threats. Tragically, these strikes have already resulted in civilian deaths, with several people killed in the latest attacks. UJIA’s team in Israel have worked quickly to assess the urgent needs of the families who are seeking shelter day and night, the children who are frightened, and the communities who are under immense psychological strain. Your help is urgently needed. Please support UJIA’s Emergency Appeal: Israel Under Fire”.
Wizo Emergency Appeal
WIZO’s Emergency Campaign is supporting a traumatised nation suffering and dealing with the psychological fall out of the horrific events of 7th October and the current war on all fronts including the recent attacks from Iran.
