DISASTER RELIEF

Israeli Families Need Supplies for Bomb Shelters



ISRAEL – Ale, a young mom in Israel, heard the alert sirens as she pulled into her driveway.

“I know it’s not a rehearsal,” she said. “I park the car as fast as I can and think which of the two children to pull out first and get into the house.”

She has only a few seconds to get her sons to safety before the incoming rockets arrive.

The increase of attacks in recent days are stretching farther into Israel and threatening more families than ever before, and in the bomb shelters, supplies are quickly running out.

“If you had to live in a bomb shelter for a week, what are you going to do?” said OBI staff on the ground. “You have to have water, and you have to have diapers, baby food, food items, drinks—you have to have things that are going to last.”

To help better prepare families, CBN's Operation Blessing teams are packing boxes of food and other necessities to replenish the depleted supplies in local bomb shelters in border towns, where the volley of rockets shakes homes and keeps families awake at night.

“Once I get [my children] into the safe room, I try to relax, pray, sing a soothing song and even play while we wait,” Ale said. “I pray that no mother in the world will have to feel her heart stopping in fear for the safety of her children’s lives.”
