Magen David Adom

The MDA ambulance donated by Jewish News readers

An ambulance donated to Israeli medics by Jewish News readers in 2010 has been called to more than 10,000 emergencies since it entered service.

Together with members of Cockfosters and North Southgate Synagogue, Jewish News readers raised enough money to buy the ambulance and donate it to Magen David Adom (MDA), Israel’s national ambulance, blood-services and disaster-relief organisation.
