The Israeli Coalition for the Refugees of Darfur and Sudan was set up in 2007 as a coalition composed of 20 member organisations including the American Jewish Committee, Brit Olam, The Humanitarian Fund of the Kibbutz Movement, MDA - Magen David Adom, and Women to Women Association. The group was created at the same time as the Israel Won't Forget campaign, whose goals include providing humanitarian relief directly to the refugees of Darfur who have escaped to specific regions in Northern and Central Africa.[1]

Presumably the group has concluded its activities because as of May 2009 its website appears to have closed down.
