Several southern Israeli cities recently came under intense attack as a barrage of rocket fire from Gaza continued for days. Elderly Jews and Holocaust survivors faced ongoing fears of knowing that emergency alert sirens could, and would, sound at a moment’s notice.

Fortunately, at one of our partner homes in Ashkelon, each floor had a bomb shelter for elderly Jewish women and men to take quick refuge.

In 2022, MDA’s emergency vehicles were dispatched 13 million times. That is once every twenty-four seconds.

Their paramedics were able to treat more than 800,000 patients, assist in 983 births, and help in several mass-casualty events.

With the rise in recent terrorist attacks, MDA is on ready alert to respond if another call for emergency medical services come in.
