I spotted this and so did Jewschool. Zaka is one example of a project that should get some Israeli government support given the service they provide.
From the Daily Telegraph:
Israel's disaster squad on brink of bankruptcy
A Jewish charity whose bearded, skullcap-wearing volunteers rush to the scene of every suicide bombing in Israel is facing bankruptcy following the decline in Palestinian terrorism.
Members of Zaka were among the first to arrive at every atrocity, sifting through wreckage to gather the body parts of victim and bomber alike, in accordance with Jewish law.
"The perception is that our workload has gone down, and so we have seen a decline in the growth of our private funding," said Yehuda Meshi Zahav, the founder and chairman of Zaka.
"But the reality is that our workload has gone up and so, until our funding catches up, there is a problem."
Mr Meshi Zahav appears older than his 44 years but when he explains his workload it is easy to see why.
His group responds to all non-natural deaths in Israel. This does not just include terrorist incidents but murders, suicides and accidents, currently averaging around 35 each week.

Thanks for posting this article, I've seen them fundraising in the area. I didn't realize they were so active.
