Danna Azrieli, Chair of the Azrieli Foundation Israel stated: “During these tough and sad times, we are witnessing the people of Israel at their best and finest hour, with much will to provide immediate assistance to civilians and soldiers on the front lines. The unity and cohesiveness of the citizens of Israel along with the support for our fighting forces are critical and we are fully supporting them”.
A portion of the grants were given to NGOs active in the field of sport as a tool for social impact, with an emphasis on programs for evacuees from the Gaza Envelope and the northern border. In the photo – an activity for evacuees from from Kibutz Zikim, operated by Ziv Neurim.
