In response to the current war in Israel with Iran and the recent missile attacks, the NGO HaGal Sheli (My Wave) has reactivated its Emergency Response Centers.

Reporter Arieh O’Sullivan spoke with Ophyr Hanan, the international communications manager of HaGal Sheli, about their actions and how one can seek help.
