This disturbing article says that Zaka is nearly bankrupt. Contributions are down because terrorism attacks are down, and people are under the mistaken impression that Zaka only responds to terrorist attacks. Not so:
His group responds to all non-natural deaths in Israel. This does not just include terrorist incidents but murders, suicides and accidents, currently averaging around 35 each week.
Members of the 1,400-strong Zaka volunteer network respond to all incidents to ensure that the body of the deceased is treated with the appropriate dignity as demanded by the Jewish Torah.
With a fleet of 34 ambulances and 150 motorbikes, it costs Zaka £35,000 a month just to cover its costs. Last year’s total budget was £1.1 million although Mr Meshi Zahav declined to reveal the shortfall.
I found a website called ZakaUSA. I haven’t vetted it, but if someone has the time to check it out and let us know in the comments, please donate. These people perform an invaluable, if heart-rending, service.
