Numerous people are finding themselves stranded in Israel, as flights to and from Israel continue to be grounded, due to the strict lockdown.

The government has announced that special flights will leave Israel to Frankfurt, Germany, with the belief that travelers to other locations will be able to travel onward from there. However, as flights from Germany are extremely limited, this is not an ideal option for most US-bound travelers.

Chaim V’Chessed, along with the Amudim organization, was involved in arrangements for an emergency which departed to JFK airport last night. We are now exploring the possibility of emergency flights to the USA at the beginning of next week (approximately Jan. 31).

UPDATE: We can now report that United Airlines will have flights from Israel to the United States on Saturday and Sunday nights, January 30-31. Delta Airlines will HOPEFULLY operate a flight on Monday night.

At this point, there is no information regarding special flights from the USA to Israel. Apparently, the authorities are waiting to see if the the lockdown is extended. If it is, there will hopefully be emergency flights from the USA, to return Israeli residents home form America.

Bear in mind that, officially, travel from Israel at this time is restricted. If traveling for a funeral, medical procedure, or legal proceeding, one must fill out this affidavit. If traveling for any other reason, one must obtain special permission, via this applicationWe can share that until this time, there has not been enforcement of this requirement.
