The Jewish Agency for Israel, which will be covering the costs of the funeral, has also decided to provide support for all the families of those killed in the Mumbai attack from the Fund for Victims of Terror. Support will be transferred immediately to families of the Jews and Israelis killed in the attack. The Chairman of the Jewish Agency, Zeev Bielski, says that these funds, raised by the United Jewish Communities, Jewish Federations and Keren Hayesod-United Israel Appeal, are intended to express the mutual responsibility of the Jewish People as well as the Jewish Agency's support of Jews who fall victim to terror attacks aimed at Israeli targets.

The Fund was set up in the year 2000 and since then has provided support to thousands of victims of terror attacks and their families totaling more than 100 million shekels. The Jewish Agency has transferred funds to victims of terror attacks which took place in Israel as well as to families of Jews who suffered in terror attacks aimed at Israeli targets around the world.
