Yad Sarah Helps Earthquake Victims in India
by Betzalel Kahn
The Yad Sarah organization has rallied to the aid of the
victims of the earthquake in India, and this past Monday (5
Shevat) it sent four oxygen purifiers to India along with a
medical team.
The contribution was made in the wake of a request from the
IDF which applied for this equipment which it needs for a
field hospital it is setting up in the region of the
earthquake.
This isn't the first time that Yad Sarah has been helped
victims of earthquakes. The previous time was when it helped
the victims of the earthquake in Turkey. The oxygen
purifiers provide a supplement of oxygen to invalids whose
lungs were harmed. The purifiers separate the oxygen from
the air, and purify it, and are an efficient alternative to
heavy and clumsy oxygen tanks. This special apparatus is
assembled at Yad Sarah.
The chairman of Yad Sarah, Rabbi Uri Lapolianski, said that
Yad Sarah is happy to help everyone in need, including the
injured in India. "Yad Sarah also helps to establish
volunteer centers similar to its one in Jerusalem,
throughout the world," he said.
