MDA is Israel's national emergency response, blood services, and disaster relief organization. It is not a government agency, though it is the only organization appointed by the Government to serve in this role. MDA's 30,000 paramedics and EMTs, and volunteers are always there for all Israelis. They respond to typical emergencies and incidences of greater magnitude with 2,000 vehicles on call around the clock, based at 198 EMS stations nationwide. MDA Blood Service collects and processes 97% of the blood supply distributed to Israeli hospitals and the entirety needed by the Israel Defense Forces. Emergency preparedness training equips them to respond to mass casualty events and provide humanitarian aid at home and abroad. American Friends of MDA raises funds to support this vital work.

Those of us with close family and friends in Israel appreciate how many of you have already reached out to check on us and show your support. As I’m sure most have heard, on Saturday morning Hamas terrorists launched a coordinated attack on Israel, just as many of us around the world were beginning to celebrate the Sabbath and the Jewish holiday of Simchat Torah. Bear in mind the situation is rapidly changing and official figures may change, but the brutal attacks have reportedly included countless missiles and a land invasion that has left over 700 dead, 2000 injured, and more than 100 kidnapped as hostages and taken to Gaza. To put these horrific events into perspective, recall that Israel is a small country with under 10 million people. Several of the victims also include citizens of the US, UK, and other nations around the world. Figuring out how to support the innocent victims of a war so far away can bring a feeling of helplessness, so we wanted to share some actions you can take: - Reach out to your Jewish friends to check in and show support. A large number of us have friends, family, and other ties to Israel - Stay informed and consume media from a variety of sources. Read the heartbreaking stories and try to comprehend the impact to millions of innocent lives - Donate to valuable causes and submit for your company match. Israel is in an all-hands-on-deck situation right now, and supporting life-saving organizations can help from afar Thank you for your support 💙
