Dear customers,
As you are aware, we are currently facing an unexpected and unprecedented attack on the Israeli south, resulting in hundreds of dead and thousands injured, amongst them many children, women, and innocent people. That’s as well as more than a hundred Israelis kidnapped into Gaza strip by Hamas and terrorist organizations.
In light of these events, we would like to ask you to give us a hand in this unfortunate and tragic struggle to care the wounded and injured.
The wounded have arrived at various hospitals in the south of Israel, including Barzilai Hospital.
Barzilai Medical Center is a district hospital located in Ashkelon, south of Israel. Its’ location close to the southern border of Israel with Gaza strip makes it both a target of rocket attack by Hamas and a vital role in treating wounded soldiers and terror victims. Its’ history speaks of a heroic and resolute spirit, where during the 2008 Gaza war, the hospital couldn’t provide medical care, forcing it to evict up to 80% of its patients to other hospitals.
Today, Barzilai Medical Center boasts around 557 hospital beds, 60-day hospital beds, and 46 newborn cradles. While it’s been treating patients from around the Palestinian Authority, there are only 280 guarded hospital beds, which is only around half its total hospital beds. This situation poses a severe risk to the hospital and the people it serves. Despite this, Barzilai Medical Center continues to rise above the challenges and continues to remain dedicated and committed to its mission.
At October 8th 2023, during the massive terror attack from Gaza into Israel, there has been a direct hit on the hospital from Gaza. The hospital corridor has been damaged, though no people were hurt.
As a community, we need to come together to support the shielding of the hospital and the protection of its staff and patients in the face of terrorism. Our hearts go out to those affected by this tragic day and we must take action to ensure that everyone, no matter their religion or ethnicity, can receive proper medical care and safety. We appreciate your support and mobilization for this difficult struggle at these times.
