Magen David Adom is on high alert
*Using ambulances, MICUs and bulletproof ambulances: Magen David Adom teams have been providing medical care to dozens of wounded since the morning hours*
At 6:29 this morning, alarms were sounded in the south of the country and in the center, alongside dozens of terrorists who had infiltrated Israeli territory. In the subsequent hours, the Magen David Adom teams, using both ambulances and bullet-proof mobile intensive care units, managed to reach numerous sites and tend to the wounded. This includes a Magen David Adom staff member who was seriously injured by terrorists’ gunfire directed at the ambulance.
As of now, the Magen David Adom teams continue to attend scenes in, ambulances, and intensive care units to access further incident sites and administer aid to the injured. Since dawn, Magen David Adom teams have attended to various scenes with casualties ranging from deceased, seriously wounded, moderately hurt, and those with light injuries. Magen David Adom units across Israel remain on high alert, striving to reach all victims in every location.
Magen David Adom urges the public to heed the guidelines of the Home Front Command. During alarms, it’s imperative to reach a safe zone carefully and promptly, then wait for 10 minutes as per the instructions of the Home Front Command. These directives are life-saving.
Magen David Adom’s blood services have raised an alarm over the acute shortage of blood units, specifically emphasizing the urgent need for type O. To address this, from 10:30 onwards, blood donations are scheduled in Tel Aviv at the Ichilov Medical Center Hospital, at the MDA station in Jerusalem, and the MDA station in Haifa at 34 Yitzhak Sade St.
Magen David Adom wishes to reiterate the gravity of this situation: “We are appealing to the general public – please come to the Magen David Adom collection points and donate blood. This act can potentially save the lives of the injured.” For any medical requirements, dial 101 to reach Magen David Adom.
