I have housewares, shoes size 39, women's clothing size XL.
I live in Tirat Carmel and would love to get in touch with an organization to donate to those in need.
There are no buses in this city! Shame!! Only car owners are entitled to freedom of movement in this country!!! Discrimination for its own sake.
And then they will try to encourage people to use public transportation. Joke..
We have become prisoners in this country. I don't even have milk in the fridge because I'm stuck at home, unable to leave, while private vehicles drive freely outside. A miserable country...
Haifa Municipality: It has never practiced evacuating a neighborhood, not even a street. It does not have the tools to evacuate hundreds and thousands of people. The municipality's warehouses with mission equipment and a large part of the shelters do not allow for stay due to poor air quality and humidity, and this is not being addressed.
Rely only on yourself in the event of a disaster.
Do not stockpile food because in any case, during an evacuation, you will be removed from the building by the police and the surrounding area will be closed.
There is no point in stockpiling food, just fill water bottles in case the water supply is disrupted and emergency supplies for communication equipment and first aid supplies.
Beyond that, they will drive you into hysteria on the news – the chance of being targeted is a hundred times smaller than a serious car accident in hysteria from the supermarket.
