Our recent response efforts:
- India: When a COVID-19 surge devastated India in Spring 2021, JDC worked with local partners to bring more than two-dozen Israeli-manufactured ventilators and telemedicine technology to hard-hit communities. We also trained more than 20 women leaders in COVID-19 prevention, reaching over 20,000 people in rural communities.
- Haiti: JDC mobilized immediately after the magnitude-7.2 earthquake that struck southwestern Haiti, killing more than 2,200 people and injuring thousands more. Working with our local partners, we have delivered over 2,500 pounds of medical supplies, treated over 4,300 people in Haiti’s hardest-hit communities, and delivered 50-pound food packages to over 900 families.
- The Bahamas: In response to Hurricane Dorian — the devastating storm that hit the Bahamas on September 1st, 2019 and is still inflicting damage — JDC coordinated with its local partners to provide emergency medical supplies, as well as understand and address Bahamians’ evolving needs. JDC still supports their long-term recovery efforts.
- Mozambique: When Cyclone Idai killed more than 1,300 people and left 2 million in need in March 2019, JDC worked with local partners to assist communities affected by waterborne diseases, homelessness, and medical emergencies. Today, JDC continues to uplift these communities through innovative development initiatives.
- Mexico: After an earthquake tore through Mexico City in 2017, JDC worked with its local partners to rescue victims and distribute medicine, first-aid equipment, and other essentials. Years later, JDC maintains a humanitarian presence in Mexico City and outlying areas, working to make devastated communities more resilient.
