The Keren Kayemeth LeIsrael-Jewish National Fund announces emergency funding of NIS 225 million ($60 million) for residents of northern and southern Israel affected by the war.

The fund says the aid is going to local authorities in these regions, “addressing uncertainty around government assistance and the ongoing conflict along Israel’s borders.”

“During these challenging times, KKL-JNF stands firmly with the residents of northern and southern Israel,” says chairperson Ifat Ovadia-Luski.

“We are committed to ensuring the continued survival and prosperity of these frontier communities. The assistance we provide is part of our broader efforts to restore vital infrastructure, support local agriculture, and strengthen community resilience,” she says.
