Israeli Flying Aid (IFA) is an Israeli Zionist proud and unapologetic NGO that spent the past 18 years providing life-saving humanitarian aid to communities affected by natural disasters and conflicts worldwide. IFA focuses on innocent children and women whose worlds have collapsed away from the public eye and media. IFA operates autonomously and represents the pulsating heart of Israeli civil society and believes in the sanctity of human life and dignity as reflected in the Jewish religion. In times of emergency within Israel, our organization is mobilized in full force within the State of Israel and considers this mission a civic duty. We provide aid to both our soldiers on the frontlines and the civilian home front. In the past, IFA operated in the Second Lebanon War, the 2012 Israeli Operation Pillar of Defense in the Gaza Strip, the 2008 Gaza war, the fires on the Carmel, and more. Our organization is well known to the various Israeli governmental institutions in general, and the IDF in particular.
