Disney Donates $2 Million To Support Humanitarian Relief Following Terrorist Attacks In Israel

The Walt Disney Company recently announced a donation of $2 million to organizations that are providing humanitarian relief following the Hamas terrorist attacks in Israel.

Bob Iger, CEO of Disney, commented on the attacks.

Iger said, “In the wake of the horrific terrorist attacks targeting Jews in Israel this past weekend, we must all do what we can to support the innocent people experiencing so much pain, violence, and uncertainty – particularly children. We condemn these attacks, the hate that motivated them, and all acts of terrorism, and we will continue working to find more ways to provide support in the region, and to honor the victims, their families, and all those affected by this war.”

$1 million is being donated by Disney to Magen David Adom, who is affiliated with the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies that provides emergency medical and blood banking services in Israel. Also, $1 million is going to other nonprofit organizations working in the region, especially those with a focus on providing aid to children.

Additionally, company employees have been in Disney’s Matching Gifts program that matches eligible charitable donations made by employees up to $25,000.
