For the third consecutive year, IHA has clothed every person registered with the Homeless Offices of Beer Sheva and Eilat.
With the assistance of Members of the Knesset, namely MK Effi Eitam and former MK Avishai Braverman, IHA succeeded in relocating seven families living in a tent city in Beer Sheva subject to an evacuation order. There is still much work to be done as other families were forcibly removed, resulting in a woman’s suicide.
Over $7500 worth of toys has been distributed to 130 displaced children in the Negev region. This was described by Miri Becker, Director of the Ministry’s Children’s Services in the Negev, as “one of the most psychologically important contributions yet received” from the perspective of the children.
