Israel Project: Report

July 2024

Beyond Conflict is proud to present a report on the Israel project from our partner on the ground, United Jewish Israel Appeal (UJIA).

The project ran from January 2024 to May 2024, funded by our donor the London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG) Foundation. The work was commissioned in response to the October 2023 Hamas attack on Israel. This project, provided via our partner UJIA, has delivered much needed mental health support to both civilians and frontline workers who were impacted by the attack on the Nova music festival in southern Israel and the families of those taken hostage.

Beyond Conflict Co-Founder and Director said:

“We are grateful to UJIA for its urgent and important work, helping those whose lives were shattered by the events of October 7 2023. MHPSS is vital for those young lives destroyed by war related trauma. Young people are the future. Providing this kind of support is an investment in future peace and stability in the region. We thank LSEG for supporting this work.”

One person who benefited from the project said:

“This was a real gift. I was able to pause, breathe and create calm amidst total chaos.”
