An urgent situation has arisen in northeastern India which has left thousands of Bnei Menashe Jews literally homeless.

 

Since May 3, ethnic violence between the Meitei and Kuki tribes has been raging in the Indian state of Manipur and the Bnei Menashe Jews have been severely affected. Some 2,000 Bnei Menashe Jews – 40% of the entire community – have been forced to flee are now homeless and destitute. Shavei Israel has been assisting the refugees since early May at the relief centers we established, but we are now down to just 2 weeks left of basic supplies such as food and medicine. It is therefore extremely urgent that we raise funds.

 

The cost per person is just $25 per month, or less than $1 a day, but since there are 2,000 refugees, the need is great and critical.
