Israeli NGO sends power and communication aid to Hurricane-stricken US

An Israeli organization is providing solar power units and communication systems to badly-hit communities in the wake of Hurricane Helene, even as the latest Category 3 storm, Hurricane Milton batters the same region.

SmartAID, working in collaboration with its partner, FP Project and grassroot communities in Asheville, North Carolina and Taylor County in Florida, brought two smart mobile trailers to Asheville and North Carolina to provide critical electrical and communication support to first responders, local charities and local communities.
