Who are volunteers and what is their role?
Volunteers are people who voluntarily and freely help where needed. They work in different areas:
- In hot spots and on the front line.
Ukrainian volunteers deliver humanitarian aid to combat zones and provide soldiers with everything they need. Israeli volunteers actively participate in charity events, helping displaced people and victims of conflict.
- In hospitals and nursing homes.
Volunteers support lonely people, help doctors, and care for patients.
- At public events and in emergency situations.
Their help is indispensable when organizing charity events, cultural events and disaster relief.
The special role of volunteers in Ukraine
Since the beginning of Russia's full-scale war against Ukraine, the role of volunteers has become vital. They provide the army with uniforms, transport, medicine and food. Thanks to their efforts, millions of people received shelter, help and support.
As one of the Ukrainian volunteers noted:
“We don’t just help, we build a bridge between the rear and the front line, we give hope that together we can overcome any difficulties.”
Israeli volunteers: traditions of help
Israeli volunteer culture has long roots. Every year, tens of thousands of Israelis join initiatives aimed at helping those in need. Among them:
- Help for new repatriates.
- Working with the elderly and disabled.
- Participation in international humanitarian missions.
