The Immigration and Absorption committee is operating — together with the ERAN emotional first aid service — a special phone hotline for immigrants amid the ongoing military operation.

The service is available free and anonymously in five languages: English, French, Spanish, Russian and Amharic.

In light of the ongoing rocket fire, the hours of the hotline have been extended.

The hotline can be reached by phone at *3201 or via online chat at: https://www.eran.org.il/helpline-for-olim-eng/
