Initiatives to Support Israel and Humanitarian Aid in Gaza

Take one minute a day to advocate for the 98 hostages still being held in Gaza. Call your congressional representatives daily and tell them to pass the upcoming resolution to bring the hostages home. One Minute a Day has automated the whole process—so it literally takes just one minute to call all four of your representatives.

Sundays 11:00 AM Central Park and 90th Street

Organized by the Hostage and Missing Families Forum, this weekly gathering brings the Upper West Side community together to demand more action to release the hostages still held in Gaza. Each week there are one or two speakers, often including family members of those in captivity. People gather for 20 minutes and then run or walk the bridle path around the reservoir. Bring Israeli flags and/or signs.

In addition to transporting injured civilians and soldiers, MDA/HA Medevacs have continued their emergency flights across the State of Israel.

Hatzolah Air’s fixed-wing aircraft have been active in the region, as well, flying supplies and personnel to Israel and flying in and out of the country with advanced medical teams performing complex rescue missions.

NIF is raising urgent funds to provide humanitarian aid to civilians suffering in Gaza.
