We've all been watching with horror as the violent attacks from Gaza have thrown Israel into a shocking state of emergency. Hundreds of rockets are falling, schools are closed, and families are huddled in bomb shelters.
In the town of Sderot, which borders Gaza on the very southern tip of Israel, residents are under immediate threat of injury. In this city, 40% of residents suffer from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.
The residents of Sderot are counting on Meir Panim's humanitarian work for emergency help.
Our staff and volunteers in Sderot are working around the clock to keep doors open at our 3 After-School Youth Clubs - all of which are located in converted bomb shelters.
Children are the most vulnerable segment of any society. As terrorist activities become more and more frequent, Sderot's youth need you now more than ever.
Meir Panim's Youth Clubs are a crucial support system for Sderot's traumatized teens.
As the world watches, now is the time to help Sderot's children receive the humanitarian support they need to get through traumatic periods like this one.
