If anyone is wondering how to help people in the areas affected, check out https://www.am-ehad.org/ (in Hebrew). This is for material forms of help not money donations.
Or you can donate to Magen David Adom, the Israeli equivalent of the Red Cross. Its donation page for Israelis, in Hebrew, is at https://www.mdais.org/donation. The American Friends of Magen David Adom has an English-language donation page at http://afmda.org/.
