Heavy rain and high winds continue to batter England, Ireland and Scotland, causing devastating damage to many communities.

"The first team was greeted by locals with open hands and are now mapping the workloads which would include distribution of goods and gutting houses helping people repair their homes," said Shachar Zahavi, founding director of IsraAid.

A team of four IsraAID volunteers arrived in Leeds on Monday to survey the damage there and help residents with home repairs. The Israeli relief team is also distributing food and warm blankets to those in need.

IsraAID has extensive expertise at gutting flood-damaged homes and helping to rebuild them. In July 2015, an Israeli volunteer team helped gut and fix some of the 375 homes in need of repair in Illinois in the wake of an EF3 tornado that ripped through the state.

"We have responded to 10 floods and tornado disasters in the US and when we saw what was happening to the UK in the news it looked worse than ever before. We wanted to show the community we would be there for them," Zahavi told the Jewish Chronicle.

Zahavi said another team of five Israeli volunteers left Israel today for the northern UK to help map the situation.

"Our volunteers will assist with the current effort being carried out and use our experience in these disasters to work out what more we can do and how," he told the JC.
