The Ministry of Diaspora Affairs in collaboration with Jewish philanthropy will provide $1.27 million to the Jewish community.
The Israeli government is initiating the delivery of four million shekels ($1.27 million) in aid to Jewish communities in Ukraine, the Ministry for Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism said on Thursday.
Due to extensive damage to energy infrastructure during the Russo-Ukrainian war and harsh winter conditions, much of the Jewish population is facing prolonged power outages, the statement read.
The ministry together with Mosaic United and Jewish philanthropy are leading an initiative to provide the funding to Jews in need in Ukraine as part of the State of Israel’s commitment to stand by Diaspora communities worldwide.
