OBI has started feeding children living in and around the National Soccer Stadium. Yesterday we handed out hot meals to over 2,000 children.

One of children we met was 10-year-old Jennifer. Her 7-year-old sister was killed in the earthquake and she is now living with her parents in a tent on the field of the soccer stadium.

For many this is the only chance for a good meal they will have all day as food supplies are limited and parents are out of work. The feeding program is part of a multi-faceted intervention where OBI is providing medical care, clean water and food to those taking shelter in the stadium complex.

On Friday, we installed a water purification system in the stadium that is providing clean drinking water to around 3,000 people a day. The Israeli government is also based here with a state-of-the-art field hospital that is providing critical medical care to injured victims.

Please continue to pray with us for these families that have endured so much.
