The KKL-JNF (Jewish National Fund) says it is preparing aid worth hundreds of thousands of shekels for Jewish communities in Venezuela, including 500 displaced families. The announcement comes days after twin earthquakes devastated the country.
KKL-JNF (Jewish National Fund) announced Thursday evening that it is preparing to provide aid worth hundreds of thousands of shekels to the Jewish communities in Venezuela, including 500 families who have been evacuated from their homes.
As The Zioneer reported earlier Thursday, KKL-JNF had already allocated an initial NIS 300,000 ($100,000) for emergency relief. The new announcement indicates the organization is expanding its commitment as the scale of the disaster becomes clearer, though exact amounts and distribution channels remain unspecified in this update.
The twin earthquakes that struck Venezuela last week have killed at least 164 people, according to international reports, with rescue operations ongoing. A number of Israeli and international organizations, including the Jewish Agency, have mobilized assistance.
