.  As you know, the entire southern region for many miles beyond Gaza had to be evacuated NOW, and that entire population of Jews fled without even a toothbrush.  They have been taken in mainly by several of the Kibbutzes in other parts of Israel, and those Kibbutzes are in desperate need of resources to feed and clothe these large numbers of sudden and unexpected guests.  One of our relatives has a relative on Zichron Yaakov, knows that any funds will be spent exactly as expected (to feed, clothe, and support the refugees), so if you are looking for a worthy and secure place to make a donation, I do believe that this is a worthy place.

   Huge thanks for reading this.  Small donations are very, very valuable!
