Displaced Jewish Ukrainian Children Shelter in Israel Away From Reality of War
On Sunday afternoon, two planes arrived in Israel carrying around 80 children from the Alumim Jewish orphanage in Zhytomyr, a city located in the northern part of Ukraine that has been mostly destroyed by the Russian military since it invaded the country late last month. Since their arrival, trucks filled with donations of clothing, shoes, toys, diapers, games, and food have arrived to where they are staying at the Nes Harim Field and Forest Education Center west of Jerusalem from all over the country, and volunteers have come along to help organize the gifts. The Media Line’s Debbie Mohnblatt met the children and their caregivers and brings us the full story.
