ZAKA360 Identifies a Vital New Need after October 7
After searching for, identifying, and burying countless bodies since October 7, heads of ZAKA360 look to revamp the way they search for bodies
ZAKA 360 is a unit of the military who have worked since October 7; collecting, identifying, and burying bodies. Due to the devastating numbers of bodies they worked with, they are now lacking multiple urgently needed recourses and equipment.
One of the vital things they need is a command post. A command post uses a combination of human and information resources to locate missing persons and would have made a crucial difference in their search now, instead of their current arduous on-foot process.
It’s a huge expense, at 300,000 NIS, approximately $80,000, but after October 7, they know that there is no way they can do without it.
When any future search comes up, the command post will help them save lives before it’s too late, and cut down the search time for the bodies, so that the bodies don’t go through the disgrace of remaining unburied, and families can get the closure of receiving their loved ones' bodies.
They lack the means to fund it themselves and are turning to the public to donate towards the desperately needed command tower. You can change the way ZAKA360 searches for Jewish bodies by making a tax-deductible donation here.
