MISSION leader for IsraAID Hagit Krakov told an audience in Sydney on Tuesday that the Israel-based humanitarian organisation has faced a backlash from other non-government organisations (NGOs) during the course of its global emergency response and disaster relief work.
Krakov, who has most recently led IsraAID teams tackling the refugee criss in Greece and supporting local communities in the aftermath of February’s cyclone in Fiji, was speaking at an event hosted by the United Israel Appeal of NSW, the Embassy of Israel and the Executive Council of Australian Jewry.
She explained that some NGOs criticise and actively try to undermine IsraAID’s efforts as an organisation coming from Israel.
