For the second day, Israelis are under attack, with rockets striking communities in the southern and central parts of the country, including a direct strike on an apartment in Rehovot that killed one and injured seven others.

People were injured in other communities too as some rockets evaded Israel’s Iron Dome missile defense system. In each of these incidents, Magen David Adom paramedics and EMTs have responded amid the barrage at their own risk, treated the injured at the scene, and evacuated them to local hospitals.

Your support is more important than ever. Your donation provides the ambulances and medical supplies MDA EMTs need to save lives, and the personal protection equipment they need to keep themselves safe.

Magen David Adom is Israel’s national paramedic and Red Cross service. A leader in mass-casualty response and EMS technology, MDA treats and transports almost 1 million people to hospitals every year; collects, safety tests, and distributes nearly all the blood to Israel’s hospitals; and, through its affiliation with the Red Cross movement, responds to disasters around the world
