Israelis Race to Save Lives in Devastated Haiti
(Jerusalem Post) E. B. Solomont - The Israeli delegation, which arrived on Friday, established a headquarters near the airport and swiftly set up its field hospital, unloading dozens of truckloads of medical and logistical equipment. The IDF's Medical and Rescue Team immediately began work, with two teams from the Oketz canine unit pressed into action. On Sunday, IDF Home Front Command soldiers rescued a 52-year-old man from the ruins. The trapped man had communicated his location by sending a text message on a cellphone. A ZAKA rescue unit, deployed at a collapsed multi-story university building, managed to extricate eight students from the rubble over the weekend.
