04/03/2008

A Joint adventure: MDA volunteers are training new immigrants and local residents in First Aid at Ashkelon Jewish Agency Absorption Center                                                  

It will start in Amharic on Thursday, March 6 at 19:00 hours, then on Sunday, March 9, 2008 40 Russian speakers will be trained at 18:00, simultaneously a course in French will be held for French speakers. Spanish & English speakers will be trained too.

At this moment (March 4, 2008) a drill including all emergency forces in Ashkelon – MDA, POLICE, FIRE FIGHTERS - is conducted: the pretense: a high rise building with hundreds of occupants hit by kassams, Grads, or other rockets.

How to screen the casualties. How to evacuate them.

6 ambulance teams, 4 MICU & 1 MCRV as well; as Lachish 90 (Helicopter) together with 15 First Responders participate in the drill treating scores of (fake) casualties.

Today, March 4, 2008, early morning, another miracle in Sderot: a direct hit has destroyed a private residence and damaged the surrounding houses: the 70 year old couple, one of Sderot founders left yesterday afternoon to stay at their chikldren's house in Givataym. No casualties reported.

Today, March 4, 2008, 2 Palestinian patients will be transferred for medical treatment in an Israeli hospital from the Erez Checkpoint by MDA medics.
