MDA UPDATE: MAYOR OF LONDON SUPPORTS MDA CAMPAIGN
As Magen David Adom’s paramedics and volunteers continue saving lives on the frontline in Israel, the response from communities across the UK, Jewish and not, has been incredible.
This week, Sadiq Khan, Mayor of London, has included MDA UK as one of the humanitarian causes he is encouraging Londoners to support and for this we are thankful.
On Monday night, ORT UK invited Daniel to give an update on our teams in Israel at their Annual Dinner. He informed guests of the immediate and ongoing Magen David Adom response. How through tragedy, trauma and utter devastation, the paramedics and volunteers put their lives on the line to help save countless others. We also took a moment to remember those from our teams who have lost their lives in this unfathomable situation, as well as those who continue to struggle emotionally and mentally with all that they have experienced and witnessed over the past few weeks.
MDA needs your support – it is as simple as that. So whether it’s a bake sale, a family fun day, a night at the opera or a hike – let us know what you are up to, and we will support you in any way we can to raise more money. For every day the country is at war, MDA needs an additional £250,000 to operate and your donations are making an immediate lifesaving difference.
For those who have already donated to our emergency appeal, we would like to extend a heartfelt thank you – your generosity has saved thousands of lives. Your continuous love and support during this difficult time are appreciated beyond words.
Thank you for all that you do for Magen David Adom and the people of Israel.

MDA UPDATE: YOUR DONATIONS ARE SAVING LIVES
Since the start of Operation Swords of Iron, Magen David Adom has been stretched to full capacity. Thousands of people have been attended to by our teams of paramedics and volunteers over the past 13 days. Meanwhile, MDA Blood Services has collected, processed and distributed more than 31,000 units of blood donated by those of different race, religion and nationalities (including the British Ambassador).
Magen David Adom UK has ensured that your donations are reaching Israel within a matter of days. This has enabled MDA to purchase the additional and vital medical equipment needed to save lives. In Sderot, (the biggest city near the Gaza border) the MDA Sderot station for the first time needed to dip into their reserve supplies. MDA medic Dror Wayne visited to see how our community’s response has helped to save lives – see the below video.
For every day the country is at war, MDA needs an additional £250,000 to operate. MDA UK is a driving force in the global fundraising effort to raise these funds – and your donations are making an immediate lifesaving difference.
MDA urgently needs to replenish its stocks of lifesaving medical supplies – from tourniquets & bandages to oxygen masks & chest seals. From as little as £5, you can save lives in Israel.
For those who have already donated to our emergency appeal, we would like to extend a heartfelt thank you – your generosity has saved thousands of lives. Your continuous love and support during this difficult time are appreciated beyond words.

MDA UK UPDATE: A 10 DAY ROUND-UP
Since the start of the war on Saturday 7th October, Magen David Adom has treated thousands of casualties who were seriously, moderately and lightly injured. This included MDA personnel who were involved in saving lives.
Magen David Adom remains on high alert throughout the country with approximately 1,400 MDA ambulances, including bulletproof ambulances on standby and ready to be dispatched. These lifesaving vehicles are manned by MDA volunteers and employees who save lives despite sometimes coming under deadly fire.
Another critical and life-saving service is that of the MDA blood services which held special blood drives in Beit Shean, Yavneh, Yehud Monoson, Jerusalem, Kfar Saba, Karmiel, Merav Center, Shoham, Tel Aviv and Tel Mond. The willingness and participation of Israelis is astonishing, and because of that MDA has been able to donate more than 25,000 units of blood.
Furthermore, this weekend, dozens of firefighters arrived in Jerusalem where they donated blood to help in the recovery of the many injured as a result of the war.
MDA helicopters have also carried out dozens of medevac missions and evacuated dozens of wounded civilians. After initial treatment in the Barzilai and Soroka hospitals in the south, dozens of ambulances and Mobile Intensive Care Units (MICU’s) then transported these injured people to hospitals throughout the country.

Over the last few days Israelis and Brits in Israel from every walk of life have spent many hours queuing to donate blood at various pop-up blood drives across the country, occasionally having to rejoin the queue after moving to safety from incoming rockets.
Once the blood has been drawn it is sent to the newly opened Marcus National Blood Services Centre in Ramle – a facility partially funded by MDA UK donors – to be processed and separated into three-parts. Each portion of donated blood is able to support three patients.

Moshe a Paramedic from Jerusalem:
Yesterday Moshe was supposed to be having family photos for his son’s wedding day. Moshe’s son is also an MDA ambulance driver. Instead, he was on shift in Jerusalem under threat of Red Alert sirens and the wedding has been delayed due to the security situation, and Moshe turned up for a life saving shift.

MDA UK UPDATE: PERSONAL STORIES FROM THE FRONTLINES
We wanted to share some first hand stories from MDA Paramedics on the ground in Israel:
Ar an EMT from Sderot:
“11 hours.
My 11 hours in the inferno in the city of Sderot. 11 hours of war, alarms, explosions, live fire and shouting.
Bodies on the road, on the sidewalk, in the garden, in cars – everywhere, most of them even visible. The smell of explosives and clouds of smoke everywhere, there’s endless destruction.
For 11 hours I sat in the back of the protected intensive care unit cleaning up residual blood, arranging the medications, preparing to treat the next wounded person who is also a soldier or a policeman my age who fought and protected innocent citizens with his body.
Soldiers who are not willing to receive medical treatment because they want to fight, they don’t want to leave their friends alone.
Police officers who tell you about the friends who fell before their eyes, who ask you to take care of the friend first and not them.
11 hours that the radio reports non-stop about another seriously injured person waiting for assistance, about another direct hit, about another exchange of gunfire, about another driver reporting a seriously injured and unstable person – there is not a second of silence.
11 hours of feeling out of control. 11 hours of inspiration from the paramedic who was with me who fought for each and every person. 11 hours of truly saving lives. It’s my 11th hour, there are those who are there and are still there, were before me, and the whole country is still in this nightmare.
Thank you all for the support and the concern. I’m fine. There are others who need you now.
11 hours.”
Lior, from Jerusalem spent his shift in Southern Israel
Anything that I’ll say about the things that I saw and the things that I experienced yesterday, won’t come close to explaining what really happened there.
It was a battlefield, bodies of men, women, children, the elderly, even animals.
I treated soldiers who were seriously injured. We treated police officers and civilians while under fire from Kalashnikovs and rockets that fell a meter from the ambulance, we kept going like robots. More than once we ran out of medications on the ambulance and had to go restock.
Anyone who didn’t see MDA teams working yesterday in the south, under a hail of bullets and rockets, hasn’t seen what real self-sacrifice is.
The first thing we learn on every course is Safety, but yesterday we didn’t think about Safety, we went out to save lives in the knowledge that we may not return, and the moment wasn’t far away. The teams were interested in only one thing, to save as many lives as possible. And we did that. We saved the lives of trauma victims with very complex injuries.
Gunshot injuries, and crush injuries from rocket hits, hundreds of victims.
Victims who could talk told me how they saw their friends slaughtered, and how they managed to escape as they were injured and hiding for hours with complex gunshots.
It’s impossible to describe what happened yesterday, the heart is bleeding, the soul is injured.
It’s time to unite.

Amongst the outpouring of support from across the community, many may be feeling helpless in the UK. Unfortunately we cannot donate blood from here, but we can provide the much needed medical supplies. As well as the need for more lifesaving vehicles, MDA is in urgent need to purchase more:
- Blood bags
- Blood testing kits
- Life-saving medication
- Breathing equipment
- Hemostatic bandages
- Tourniquets
- Oxygen devices and masks
- Protective equipment such as helmets and flak jackets
- Automatic resuscitators
It is vital that we are able to get this equipment quickly to the teams working on the ground. Please do help by donating generously to our campaign, and keep MDA running at full capacity 24/7 throughout this time.
We are all thinking of and praying for the safety of our lifesavers and all the people of Israel, and praying for peace to prevail soon. Sadly, at the time of writing, I have learnt of an MDA UK ambulance, a lifesaving vehicle, which has been destroyed in Kibbutz Nir Oz.

CLEARED FOR PUBLICATION: MDA Ambulance Driver is Murdered
A senior EMT – ambulance driver in MDA, Aharon Chaimov, of blessed memory, was murdered when he was shot this morning in an MDA ambulance on his way to treat the wounded in his city, Ofakim, during a surprise attack on the State of Israel. | MDA Director General: “A person for whom the welfare of others and the value of human life always came first, as was the case today – on this tragic morning.”
Magen David Adom deeply mourns the death of its Senior EMT – ambulance driver, Aharon Chaimov, of blessed memory, a 25-year-old resident of Ofakim, who was murdered this morning (Saturday) while fulfilling his duty, going out to save lives and treat the wounded from the combined attack that began this morning on the State of Israel. Aharon, a resident of Ofakim, was injured by terrorist gunfire while going out to treat the victims, and was killed. Aharon left behind two children, a wife, parents, siblings, and family members.
Aharon began his journey in MDA as a service-year volunteer. He later officially joined the organization as an Emergency Medical Technician and subsequently completed the Senior EMT and ambulance drivers’ course. During his 4 years in MDA, Aharon worked with great professionalism, showing exceptional empathy for patients and the wounded, serving as the community’s duty ambulance driver on weekends, and always responding first to any call. Even this morning (Saturday), in the midst of a combined attack on the State of Israel, Aharon went out to save lives and was murdered by the terrorists.
Danny Shtarkman, MDA Ofakim Station Manager, said: “Aharon was a dedicated man who gave his all to save human lives. Ambulance driver and senior EMT of the highest professionalism, he was expected to start the paramedics course in MDA soon. A very responsible and professional individual, always prioritizing the well-being of patients. Aharon was very beloved at the station, very professional, loved his job and giving. Aharon was killed while fulfilling his duty on his way to treat the injured. We will deeply miss him, may his memory be a blessing.”
The Director General of MDA, Eli Bin, eulogized Aharon Chaimov, of blessed memory: “In every complex security event, MDA volunteers and employees, each one of them, stand at the forefront to provide professional medical treatment to the wounded and the victims. But Aharon was salt of the earth in and of himself, an example and role model for MDA workers and volunteers. Aharon, a man for whom the welfare of others and the value of human life always came first, as was the case today – on this tragic morning. Aharon’s passing has left us deeply sorrowed and appreciating his path. MDA volunteers and employees bow their heads today and embrace the family – an integral part of the MDA family. May his memory be a blessing.”
