Israel-UNICEF Relationship Dates Back to State's Beginning
By JOHANNA GRANT
Assistant Director of Com-
munications, U.S. Committee
for UNICEF
(Copyright 1974, JTA, Inc.)
Once again throughout the
U.S., public schools,-civic or-
ganizations, Protestant and
Catholic church women and
temple and synagogue sister-
hoods are beginning prepara-
tions for their children's
annual trick-or-treat:fon
UNICEF activities.
This year, especially in
view of the world child em-
ergency which has been de-
clared by UNICEF on behalf
of the 500,000,000 children
threatened by starvation be-
cause of skyrocketing infla-
tion and fuel and food short-
ages, the U.S. Committee for
UNICEF is appealing to all
volunteer groups of every
race, religion and national or-
igin, to renew and expand
their moral and financial
support for the United Na-
tions Children's Fund through
the traditional Halloween
campaign.
During the last year
UNICEF has also been called
upon to provide emergency
relief for child victims of the
African drought, the Bangla-
desh floods, the Cyprus hos-
tilities and the Middle East
War.
This past spring, Israel re-
quested and received
UNICEF assistance to help
cover costs of rebuilding and
restoring health centers,
schools and kindergartens in

areas hard-hit during the
Yom Kippur War, particular-
ly Kiryat Shemona and Mig-
dal Ha'Emek in the Jezreel
Valley.
UNICEF had originally of-
fered emergency aid soon
after the outbreak of the war,
at which time the Israeli
government had indicated its
intention to submit a request
once it had completed asses-
sing its needs. Representa-
tives of the fund were invit-
ed to Jerusalem to finalize
plans.
This was the first time
that Israel had called on the
-fund for 'assistance since
1966 when the government
had informed UNICEF that
its own services for children
had reached a standard
where it would no longer
need to draw upon the organ-
iaztion's limited resources.
In the intervening years,
Israel has made annual con-
tributions to UNICEF and
has cooperated with the UN
agency on a research project
at Technion exploring the
possible use of oilseeds in the
development of high-protein
foods for children.
Israel was a member of the
30-nation UNICEF executive
board from 1951 to 1959 and
again from 1961 to 1968. But
the history of Israel-UNICEF
relationships dates back to
the birth of the Jewish na-
tion in 1948.
During the next 18 years,
the fund provided equipment
for six modern milk- dairies,
supplied vaccines and other
medical supplies for cam-
paigns against tuberculosis,
polio and mycosis (a ring-
worm of the scalp), and fur-
nished laboratory equipment
and vehicles for maternal and
child health centers.
In 1969 the Israeli Nation-
al Committee for UNICEF
was founded which, like the
U.S. committee and similar
non-govetnmental organiza-
tions in 28 other countries,
acts as an educational outlet
for information about
UNICEF activities and en-
gaged in some fund-raising
activities.
Mrs. Nina Katzir, wife of
the Israeli president, is hon-
orary president of the com-
mittee, as was Mrs. - Zalman
Shazar before her. Recently
the pamphlet "UNICEF and
The Rights of the Child" has
been published in Hebrew by
the International Cultural
Center for Youth in Jerusa-
lem of which Avram Yekel,
a leading member of the Is-
raeli UNICEF Committee, is
director.
In addition, Israeli artists
have contributed the use of
their paintings to interna-
tional fund-raising efforts. A
design by Yehoshua Brand-
statter inspired by an old
talmudic legend of Hono
Hama'gel is featured in this
year's UNICEF greeting card
collection, and a painting by
Amir, a 10-year-old is one of
the full-color illustrations in
the 1975 UNICEF wall calen-
dar.
