Six months have now passed since Hamas’ devastating terrorist attacks on Israel on October 7th. Six months that have changed Jewish people and Jewish communities across the world, with antisemitism rising to unprecedented levels. Alarmingly, more than 130 hostages remain in captivity after being taken by Hamas, including men, women and children of all ages. They, and their families, have suffered 181 long, intolerable nights. Their release is paramount and we, alongside the entire community, anxiously await their safe return.
World Jewish Relief is deeply troubled by the escalating crisis in Haiti, where a surge in gang violence, especially in the capital, Port-au-Prince, has exacerbated instability. Numerous hospitals have shut down, leaving health services crippled and communities across the nation in distress. Over 360,000 people have been internally displaced; Haiti is facing a very uncertain future.
It has been two years since the Russian full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Two years that have turned people’s worlds upside down. Two years where millions of people have been internally displaced and millions more have left the country and become refugees.
The UK Government has announced the award of a major new contract to World Jewish Relief working in partnership with the British Council, to provide support for UK-based Ukrainians who have fled the war in Ukraine.
