Volunteer Support: Filling Supply Gaps for Israel's Military

As Israel prepares for a possible ground invasion of Gaza, a grassroots volunteer effort has emerged to supply Israeli soldiers with essential gear that some say the government is failing to provide. Thousands of volunteers have mobilized to collect and distribute donated supplies, including helmets, vests, knee protectors, flashlights, and underwear. The government has faced criticism for its perceived lack of organization and support, prompting the Ministry of Defense to announce that tens of thousands of items are on their way. The volunteer effort has also expanded to provide various forms of assistance, including mental health counseling and missing persons investigations.
