Post War Recovery
With the war still ongoing, Israel faces a monumental recovery effort. Countless evacuees and communities remain displaced from their homes, reserve soldiers are bearing significant economic burdens, and both civilians and security personnel are grappling with the trauma of recent events. Against this backdrop, Tel Aviv University is stepping up to offer crucial support through a range of projects. From improving emergency response systems to addressing the nation’s pressing mental health crises, the University is committed to playing a pivotal role in Israel’s post-war recovery.
