Israeli Organizations in Nepal Continue to Provide Support after Deadly Earthquake
(Times of Israel) Melanie Lidman - After a 7.8 magnitude earthquake devastated Nepal on April 25, Israeli charity workers are still on hand to help. "Now, people are thinking in the long term of a year or two, where in the beginning people were just thinking a week ahead," explained Eliran Douenias, an Israeli fellow with the Joint Distribution Committee, a Jewish American group based in Kathmandu. A number of Israeli organizations are working long-term in Nepal including humanitarian aid groups Natan and IsraAID, both of which deal with emotional rehabilitation. Tevel B'Tzedek, which has worked in Nepal for years on rural development projects, has adapted their work to include disaster and trauma relief.
