Meeting the Urgent Needs of Holocaust Survivors
Approximately 179,600 Holocaust Survivors remain in Israel — all aged 75 and older, with roughly one-quarter living in poverty. The ICEJ's Haifa call center reaches out to them daily, ensuring no survivor faces their final years alone.
The ICEJ has operated for over a decade with heightened focus on assisting Israel's Holocaust Survivor population. Located near the Haifa Home, the call center employs local volunteers to conduct daily outreach to survivors across Israel.
Services include meal and grocery delivery, home maintenance coordination, medical transportation, vaccination assistance, and companionship visits. The operation has attracted international media attention for its compassionate approach.
The pandemic created significant challenges, triggering isolation-related trauma among vulnerable elderly survivors and necessitating expanded support services. While restrictions have eased, survivors continue facing pre-existing and pandemic-induced hardships requiring sustained care and intervention.
