As noted last week, some DOM members asked for suggestions of where to donate to support humanitarian/health aid in Israel and a link was suggested by Jeff Zaltzman that was included in last week’s newsletter.  Note that not all of the links in that website list were focused on humanitarian aid and individuals will need to do some filtering. Some department members asked for links where donations can be made for humanitarian aid for those in Gaza. Please find a list of websites proposed by Ahmed Bayoumi and Malika Sharma that focus solely on humanitarian aid.
