More than 1,000 Jewish homes in Ukraine urgently need repairs after recent Russian missile and drone strikes, according to World Jewish Relief, as Jewish residents face shattered windows, damaged roofs and unsafe buildings.

The London-based Jewish charity said the damage has affected Jewish residents in cities including Kyiv and Sumy. Some homes were left unlivable after blast waves blew out windows, cracked walls and damaged roofs, forcing residents to leave until emergency repairs could be made.

World Jewish Relief said the latest wave of Russian attacks has created an urgent housing crisis for Ukraine’s Jewish community. The organization supports around 8,000 elderly Jews in Ukraine through local partners and has been helping assess damage, repair homes and relocate residents when buildings are unsafe.

CEO Paul Anticoni said the scale of the need now far exceeds normal repair work. “We have repaired 3,500 Jewish homes over the past 15 years,” he said. “But today, I estimate there are 1,000 Jewish homes in urgent need of repair.”

Anticoni warned that Ukraine’s Jews remain among the most vulnerable communities affected by the war. “Ukraine’s Jewish community is one of the most vulnerable Jewish communities in the world right now,” he said.
