Emergency Support for Israel: Treat the Wounded
Message aux sponsors
Shabbat morning at 6:20 am Israel was targeted by Hamas terrorists who crossed its border, infiltrating southern towns, resulting in many killed, people kidnapped, and hundreds injured. At the same time, thousands of rockets were launched into Israel, reaching Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. A state of war has been declared by Israel’s Defense Minister. In this state of emergency – unlike anything Israel has experienced since the Yom Kippur War – Israel needs your urgent support. We are launching an emergency appeal to raise funds for desperately needed supplies to provide our volunteers with the equipment they need to save lives and the protective equipment to keep themselves safe. United Hatzalah's goal is to raise $50 million to equip all 7000 of their volunteers with emergency vehicles, protective vests and helmets, oxygen tanks, defibrillators, trauma bandages, and tourniquets. These supplies can be ordered and delivered over the course of the next week to ensure that UH volunteers have everything they need to respond to the ongoing attacks and treat victims of the warzone- both civilian and IDF soldiers. UH medics are actively in the warzone, and are in urgent need of support and reinforcements as they respond to lifesaving calls. The time is now. Your support is critical to ensure the safety of our volunteers and the people of Israel.
