Seeking shelter in just 15 seconds has become routine for thousands of Israelis! 2014. The Gaza Strip is ablaze. Dozens of barrages of missiles fall on Israel’s South. The alarms sound continuously. Men, women and children are trapped in safe rooms, forced to spend days and nights there. Their lives are on hold. The range of the missiles has increased over the years, turning into a tangible threat to more and more Israelis. In response to the increasing distress, Keren Hayesod sets up 350 mobile shelters near kindergartens, schools and agricultural fields, and works on renovating and renewing 400 shelters. Keren Hayesod helps enhance the safety of the residents of the South in an effort to restore their daily routine and improve their quality of life.
