TEL AVIV, Israel – Project DYNAMO, a veteran-led, donor-supported nonprofit renowned for high-risk
global rescue missions, announced Friday that they have already evacuated over 200 individuals from
Israel, including American, Canadian, French, Italian, Dutch and South African citizens, since the conflict between Iran
and Israel erupted week.
The organization has since deployed multiple teams to assist those in need and continues to urge
American citizens, U.S. lawful permanent residents, and allied personnel to register for evacuation at
ProjectDYNAMO.net and also sign up for the State Department’s Smart Traveler Enrollment Program
(STEP).
Nearly 1,000 people have already registered for evacuations through Project DYNAMO’s website, and
thousands more have reportedly requested evacuation through the U.S. Department of State.
Since 2021, Project DYNAMO has rescued over 7,000 people from conflict zones and disaster areas
worldwide, including Afghanistan, Ukraine, Mexico, Haiti, Sudan and Israel, often operating in
environments where traditional rescue options are unavailable.
“Right now, every mission we have conducted during this conflict has been entirely donor funded and
we have the ability to evacuate even more people,” said Mario Duarte, CEO of Project DYNAMO. “The
only thing limiting our operations is funding, but with increased support, we can save even more lives in
this unfortunate crisis.”
