Yad Sarah Branch In Neveh Dekalim Closes Its Doors
by Yated Ne'eman Staff
After 20 years, the Yad Sarah branch in Neveh Dekalim in the
Gaza Strip closed its doors on Tuesday, August 16th/11 Av.
The branch had been open five days a week, and was manned by
12 volunteers, all residents of Gush Katif settlements. The
volunteers lent hundreds of items of medical rehabilitative
equipment annually. Among those who borrowed equipment were
area residents injured during the last four years of terror.
In recent weeks an effort was made to collect items which had
not yet been returned, and volunteers removed equipment and
the contents of the branch for shipment to Yad Sarah's main
warehouse.
The farewell letter sent by the Yad Sarah administration to
the branch volunteers said: "We have never before parted with
devoted volunteers who worked all hours of the day to assist
everyone, and who want to continue to do so in the place of
their new residences. We wish to thank you for all you have
done for the people of Gush Katif, for the respect you
demonstrated to every person who borrowed medical equipment;
for the improved quality of life you provided for each
person, and for the love and smiling good cheer with which
you volunteered."
