World Jewish Relief raises £551k in 36 hours
Funds will support urgent needs of citizens currently living through conflict in Israel and Ukraine
World Jewish Relief raised £551,532 in just 36 hours for its “Communities Under Fire” campaign, exceeding its initial target by more than £50,000.
The Jewish community’s humanitarian agency launched the two day appeal on 6-7 July to help provide aid and assistance to those impacted by ongoing conflicts in Israel and Ukraine, including emotional first aid, trauma recovery and home repairs for communities.
WJR chief executive Paul Anticoni called the support the charity had received “genuinely inspiring”.
He added: “Raising over half a million pounds in such a short period means we can act quickly to deliver essential aid to those in urgent need. Our work will focus on helping communities recover, providing emotional support, and strengthening resilience in these difficult times.”
