Hatzoloh Yisroel Volunteers Hard at Work in Galilee
By Betzalel Kahn
Hatzoloh Yisroel is continuing its operational and
humanitarian activities for Galilee residents during these
long days of heavy fighting in the North. Hatzoloh medics in
Tzfas, Chatzor, Tiberius, Carmiel and Nahariya continue to
administer first aid to dozens of people harmed by the
unremitting rocket attacks on northern cities.
Medics are on emergency alert and operate with the backing of
ambulance drivers and medics from various emergency response
centers around the country. Binyomin Mitzmacher, who is
responsible for Hatzoloh Yisroel in Elad, said several Elad
medics joined the staff operating in the Galilee. Hatzoloh
Yisroel branches in Beit Shemesh, Beitar Illit and Jerusalem
also reported volunteers from all areas have been helping the
Northern Region staff for over a week of working under fire
and responding to hundreds of calls.
In addition to its operations in the North, Hatzoloh Yisroel
conducted a major blood drive in Rechovot last week to
collect blood for the Magen David Adom Blood Bank, which is
facing serious shortages due to the fighting in the North.
Michoh Shulam, who heads Hatzoloh Yisroel in the city, said
80 units of blood were donated.
Hatzoloh Chairman R' Dovid Greenwald has sent a delegation to
the Galilee to assess the medics' needs in the area and
provide them full backing.
