Right now, Covid and the highly infectious omicron variant are spreading at a dangerous rate in Israel, with over 2,000 new covid cases just this past Monday. The government is preparing for the most intense wave yet and has commanded hospitals to prepare accordingly as new data from the Israel Health Ministry has shed horrifying light on the new variant: Some of the most susceptible to infecting Omicron are little children ages 5-11. Refuah L’yisrael, a humble volunteer-based organization guided by the Rebbi of Stafenasht is currently lending out oxygen machines to the Israeli public free of charge, allowing anyone with Covid to recuperate at home and saving thousands of lives…But with the current intense wave of cases, they are struggling to keep up with the demand for more oxygen machines. Frighteningly, this time they don’t need machines for just the elderly. They need them for children as well. “I cannot stress enough: This is saving lives,” are the urgent words written on Refuah L’yisroel’s emergency fundraising page where the non-profit organization is beseeching donors to help them purchase a higher quantity of oxygen machines. “Right now, our need is more urgent than ever. We must purchase…new concentrators as soon as possible.” To help Refuah L'yisrael obtain much-needed oxygen machines and save the lives of little children, click here.
