The Foreign Ministry establishes a donation center with the goal of centralizing and coordinating humanitarian aid initiatives and donations by Israelis to Ukrainians.

Dubbed “Matat,” the initiative will be headed by former ambassador to Czechia Daniel Meron, the ministry says.

Dozens of Israeli companies, organizations, and private individuals are currently working to transfer humanitarian aid to Ukraine, the ministry says, adding that Matat was established after “many” more inquiries were made about helping refugees fleeing the war-torn country.
