Dear Chana, We are just following up to keep you updated on the emergency situation unfolding near Jerusalem. The wildfires continue to rage out of control, we have a long night ahead. The fires erupted earlier today in at least five different locations, and while the exact cause has not been officially confirmed, some reports now indicate that Palestinians ignited these fires on land adjacent to Jewish farms. What is clear is that this crisis is escalating fast—stoked by scorching heat and fierce winds that are driving the fires deeper into populated areas. So far, approximately 3,000 acres have been scorched. Over 160 firefighting crews and 12 aircraft are battling to contain the fire fronts surrounding Jerusalem. Zaka Tel-Aviv teams are on the ground, working alongside first responders to help evacuate residents, provide urgent medical support, and assist in any way possible to protect lives. Our volunteers are confronting unimaginable heat and danger, yet they remain focused on the mission: to bring people to safety and offer compassionate care amid the chaos. This is a moment where every second—and every act of generosity—matters. Your donation directly supports our emergency response: fueling vehicles, supplying lifesaving equipment, and allowing us to respond instantly to shifting threats on the ground. |
