Humanitarian efforts by the government of Israel will soon reach the shores of the Philippines as more than 200 Israeli doctors, nurses and paramedics will make its way to typhoon struck areas.
The entire group will be setting up a mobile hospital in order to treat thousands who were injured.
Israel's mobile hospital is one-of-a-kind, furnished with the latest technology and equipment. It will be the first mobile hospital established by Israel in the Philippines.
Typhoon Yolanda devastated a number of municipalities in the eastern parts of the country – housing more than a million people. Israel's Ambassador to the Philippines, H.E. Menashe Bar on, immediately offered his government's help.
"We saw the destruction the typhoon brought, and Israel is ready to help. In past cases – where areas were struck by typhoons, we were there and assisted in any way we can. The Philippines and the Filipino people are close friends with Israel and the Jewish people. At this moment, our urgent task is to extend help to the Philippine government."
The team of medical personnel will also be accompanied by senior members of the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Israeli Defense Forces.
In 2010, Israel established a mobile hospital in the aftermath of an earthquake which devastated Haiti and successfully performed minor surgeries and childbirth operations. In addition, a search and rescue team will assist military and police in tracking efforts.
