The Syrian civil war has been in the news for years now, and as a result of that conflict, life for Syrian citizens is unimaginable.  Consider these facts, as of February 2016:

• 4.8 million Syrians are refugees in other countries
• 6.6 million Syrians are displaced within Syria
• 13.5 million Syrians are in need of humanitarian assistance

Neighboring countries of Turkey, Lebanon, and Jordan have taken in the vast majority of refugees, creating stress on the economic stability of those nations, particularly Jordan.

However, refugees are also risking their lives aboard small boats to reach Greek islands across the Mediterranean Sea, and you might be surprised at who is receiving, treating, and assisting those refugees.

For over a decade, IsraAID has been helping people all over the world overcome extreme crises and has provided millions with the vital support needed to move from destruction to reconstruction, and eventually, to sustainable living.

Indeed, Israelis respond to crises all over the world, including Lesbos Greece.  Take a look at the impressive work, done by Israelis who truly understand the idea of Tikkun Olam (a Jewish concept mentioned in the Mishnah, defined by acts of kindness performed to perfect or repair the world.)
