Together with one of our partner organisations, Osim Shchuna, JNF UK initiated Operation Ir Miklat (City of Refuge) to clear, clean, and fix thousands of shelters in Israel’s Northern towns as thousands of vulnerable citizens had no safe rooms, and communal shelters were unusable after years of neglect. 

Shelters and safe rooms are critical to protect families from both the dangers of being hit by missiles and the arrival of armed terrorists on their doorsteps, sent to murder innocent Jews.  

From the beginning of the operation to date we have identified and checked over 23,000 shelters.

We cleared, cleaned and painted approximately 3700 shelters and performed electrical work and other work in over 2000 shelters with the help of 6,500 volunteers.

Help us to restore more shelters and protect our brothers and sisters in northern Israel.
