Lilly Statement Regarding Terrorist Attack on Israel
We are heartbroken and outraged by the horrible terrorist atrocities in Israel this past weekend that targeted innocent men, women and children. Lilly joins with the rest of the world in condemning the inhumanity and violence of these terrorists.
As a company, we are focused on ensuring the safety of our employees in the region and preserving our ability to deliver life-saving medicines to the patients that depend on us. We are committing an initial donation of $500,000 to humanitarian response organizations in Israel, while the Lilly Foundation also has committed up to $500,000 in matching funds for contributions made by Lilly employees to eligible humanitarian response organizations.
Our thoughts and prayers are for the safety and well-being of those affected by these brazen acts of evil.
