ASSAF
Aid Organization for Refugees and Asylum Seekers in Israel
There are about 70,000 refugees and asylum seekers living in Israel. About 25,000 of them from Africa (mostly from Eritrea and Sudan). They fled atrocities and persecution in their countries of origin - but in Israel the authorities mistreat them and deny them status and rights.
About 23,000 of them are Ukrainian citizens, about 11,000 of whom fled with their children to Israel since the start of the war in Ukraine.
Refugees and Asylum seekers are an integral part of Israeli society. We are committed to fight for their right to a life of dignity, security, inclusion and equality in Israel.

"ASSAF has opened my eyes. At first I felt like my hands and feet were tied. But at ASSAF I received guidance and advice, and was shown what could be done. They helped me find my way"
