Israel’s First Response Organization Hatzalah Provides Aid to Ukrainian Refugees

The Israeli first response organization, United Hatzalah, has deployed a team to provide humanitarian assistance in Moldova for refugees fleeing from Ukraine. The organization has also chartered an El Al Israel Airlines plane that will deliver humanitarian goods on Thursday. United Hatzalah further hopes that it will be able to fly a small number of Jewish refugees to Israel. In an exclusive interview with The Media Line’s Felice Friedson, Linor Attias, a volunteer and member of the Hatzalah psycho-trauma unit, speaks of the toll the war is having on families and individuals. Young children along with their parents are living on food rations. The organization has chartered an El Al aircraft to replenish food and humanitarian goods as supplies rapidly dwindle. Attias tells TML that basic necessities are virtually impossible to obtain.
