4,000 MISSILES FIRED + 750 ISRAELIS INJURED
Dear Friend,
This update comes with great sadness following the onslaught of rockets, missiles, and mortars against Israel. Numerous Israelis were killed, including a 5-year-old boy…
As friends and family mourned this young child, terrorists disrupted the funeral service with another volley of rocket attacks, adding sorrow upon sorrow.
Over 4,000 projectiles were fired at Israel, striking Ashkelon, Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, and a massive host of other cities and towns.
Over 750 men, women, and children have been injured and treated by MAGEN DAVID ADOM, Israel’s emergency medical services organization.
If this were not enough, riots also broke out across Israel as the tensions created by this conflict boiled over.
MAGEN DAVID ADOM has worked around the clock, deploying every possible resource to save lives. But the work is not easy, nor is it safe. Five ambulances have been damaged.
Israel’s 30,000 Paramedics and EMTs not only desperately need medical supplies, they also need flak jackets ($500) and helmets ($400) to protect them from shrapnel when they go into areas that are being actively bombarded with rockets to find and save the wounded.
Whenever missile warning sirens sound, these emergency medical workers run for cover, hit the ground, often praying for themselves and their countrymen. They wait to hear the explosions stop, signaling a lull in the attack. Then they jump to their feet and begin working to save lives once again.
The devastation and loss of life has been heartbreaking. But the men and women of MAGEN DAVID ADOM can never stop, they must not stop. Too many people are depending on them.
And these brave, selfless, and too often sleep-deprived paramedics and EMTs are depending on you.
Please help provide the emergency medical supplies, equipment, blood, flak jackets and protective gear they must have to save lives.
Friend, please stand with the people of Israel today and do what you can to help save their lives.
Please give right now. Every dollar matters.
