The SHATIL Be'er Sheva office gathered relevant names, addresses, telephone numbers and websites that the civilian population in the south might need in an emergency. The list, currently in Hebrew with plans to translate it into Arabic, Russian, Amharic and Tigrinya (spoken in northern Ethiopia and central Eritrea), includes information on: where to turn for government help; assistance from local authorities; special assistance for disabled people; emotional support; medical centers; educational questions; trauma and more. The document is being given to small, local SHATIL clients for distribution to their constituents, especially those that don’t have access to the Internet. The listing complements the four-language hotline SHATIL initiated in collaboration with the Association for Civil Rights in Israel. In addition, the SHATIL Be'er Sheva staff is in the process of mapping the war-related needs of 450 non- profit organizations and grassroots groups in the south. |
