Amigour

The war has only deepened the need for safe, supported, and dignified housing for Israel’s most vulnerable seniors. After the war began, for many elderly tenants, particularly Holocaust survivors, the blare of sirens and repeated missile alerts triggered deep trauma. In towns under direct threat, residents had to shelter in place multiple times a day, often alone and with limited mobility. Some had only minutes to reach a secure room, while others, unable to move quickly, relied on neighbours and staff for urgent support.

Despite the fear and uncertainty, Amigour’s dedicated teams ensured no resident was left behind. Staff members remained on-site, helping residents take shelter and offering comfort in bombproof rooms. Social workers and caregivers provided emotional reassurance alongside practical care. In many buildings, communal spaces were transformed into safe zones, where residents could wait together during missile barrages, reducing isolation and panic.

Even under fire, Amigour continued to deliver hot meals, check in on residents, and run modified activities to maintain morale. For elderly residents without family, this was more than a housing solution – it was their only lifeline.
