An Update on the crisis in Ukraine and the Federation Response
As the fighting intensifies throughout Ukraine, Federation impact can be felt both within the country as well as on its borders. Hotlines, refugee reception centers, shelters and Aliyah processing stations in Poland, Hungary, Moldova and Romania are staffed by our dedicated overseas partners, the Jewish Agency for Israel and JDC, as well as others on the ground. Our collective efforts are also furnishing desperately-needed food, bedding, transportation and medical supplies to refugees.
Together, Federations across North America have raised $19.7 million so far to address critical needs resulting from the situation in Ukraine. The JFNA Ukraine Allocations subcommittee met early last week and approved an initial allocation of $8 million which is already flowing to the field. The subcommittee meets again on Thursday to review priority requests and keep vital dollars moving quickly to help those most in need.
