ISRAEL EMERGENCY RESPONSE FUND - MDA & ZAKA

ISRAEL EMERGENCY RESPONSE FUND for MAGEN DAVID ADOM & ZAKA EMERGENCY SERVICES

Ambulances and trained ER workers are always in demand in Israel. With the increase in terror, emergencies and population growth, organizations like the Magen David Adom (MDA) and ZAKA are in dire need of new ambulances to save lives throughout Israel. 

MDA's fleet travels over 9.775 million miles a year, answering over 500,000 calls annually. MDA has over 100 Emergency Medical Stations and 11 dispatch stations in communities throughout Israel providing emergency care and ambulance services, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and 365 days a year.

ZAKA is Israel’s primary rescue and recovery volunteer organization, with thousands of volunteers  on call 24/7 to respond to any terror attack, accident or disaster. ZAKA volunteers also work in specialist search and rescue units on land and sea. 

The cost for these two organizations to purchase a new, fully equipped and insured ambulance is between $110,000- $115,000USD.

We turn to you, our dear friends and supporters, with a heartfelt plea: partner with us and help us procure these urgently needed ambulances, donate to the Israel Emergency Response Fund today.

Thank you, and may God bless you!
