United Hatzalah is Israel’s largest, independent, non-profit, fully volunteer emergency medical service (EMS) organization that provides, through innovative technology, the fastest medical service throughout Israel — arriving at an emergency within 3 minutes on average and providing urgent medical care even before the arrival of an ambulance. The service is available 24/7, 365 days a year to all people regardless of race, religion, or national origin, and is completely free of charge.

Dedicated United Hatzalah volunteers have been tirelessly treating wounded in the south of Israel since the onset of the war in October when, besides for the hundreds killed and kidnapped, thousands were left injured. They are now raising funds to fully equip their volunteers (trauma kits, protective vests and helmets, oxygen tanks, defibrillators) so that they can continue to respond to ongoing attacks and everyday emergencies — and save lives.
