Christians from around the world have donated more than a dozen portable bomb shelters to Israel in response to rocket attacks on the nation.
Nine shelters are already in route to be delivered and another six shelters have been ordered in an effort that is being spearheaded by the International Christian Embassy in Jerusalem. The shelters have mostly been placed in areas where schools, daycares, hospitals, and youth centers are located.
The Jerusalem Post reported. –“ICEJ has been donating portable shelters to communities at risk since 2008 when it donated more than 50 shelters to be placed by bus stops. In total, the organization, with the support of Christians worldwide, has given 118 shelters to southern Israeli communities, working in conjunction with Operation Lifeshield to ensure the shelters are built to Israel Defense Forces standards.”
ICEJ President Dr. Jürgen Bühler said that the organization wants to do all that it can to show support for Israel as its citizens are subjected to daily terror attacks.
He told the post – “Israeli residents in the Gaza envelope have only seconds to reach safety, and they repeatedly have told us that these shelters indeed save lives. They also have given these families living in harm’s way the peace of mind they need to stay put and lead their daily lives despite the constant rocket threat.”
