How we extended support to refugees during the lockdown
ASSAF was founded in 2007 in order to aid refugees and asylum seekers in Israel. Our aim is to promote the rights of refugees in their encounters with the state authorities. This includes providing advocacy and support to those in need: thousands of men, women and children who are conducting a daily struggle to overcome memories of the traumatic experiences they have escaped, and who are living in Israel without status or access to basic human rights.

ِApproximately 31,012 refugees and asylum seekers live in Israel as of October 2020, of which 92% are from Eritrea or Sudan. They were forced to leave their homes and their countries to seek asylum in Israel due to persecution, civil wars, genocide and other horrors |
The Covid-19 crisis has hard hit the asylum seekers community in Israel. Thousands have lost their livelihoods without being entitled to unemployment benefits. Accordingly, ASSAF is working so their plight is heard and addressed by the authorities, while providing the community with extensive psychosocial aid and support. |
