Naftali Yafe, a resident of the Samaria community of Havat Gilad, said his home and family business were completely destroyed in the wildfire that swept through the area on Saturday. He and his family fled without taking any belongings and are now asking for donations to rebuild.
Naftali Yafe, a resident of the Samaria community of Havat Gilad, has launched a fundraising campaign after his home and family business, "Hagan Bira," were destroyed in the wildfire that swept through the area on Saturday. Yafe said he and his family fled at the last moment with nothing, losing their home, furniture, children's clothing, and the business that was their sole source of income.
The wildfire, which broke out on Saturday, destroyed several homes in the community. As The Zioneer reported earlier today, fundraising campaigns for other residents have raised over 6 million shekels from thousands of donors. Some residents have alleged the fire was arson, though authorities have not confirmed a cause.
Yafe's appeal is the latest in a series of fundraising efforts for the families affected by the blaze.
