The Israeli Volunteer Drivers Who Help Sick Palestinians
(New Republic) Shaul Adar - A Palestinian policeman and Leila, his three-year-old daughter who suffers from high blood pressure, are on their way to Tel Hashomer Hospital, near Tel Aviv, for treatment for the little girl. They were picked up at the border crossing by my brother, Amir Adar, 60, an Israeli software engineer and a volunteer for Road to Recovery, a group of Israelis who drive sick Palestinians to Israeli hospitals from the West Bank and Gaza. Many people with cancer, people who need a transplant or children who need dialysis go to Israel for life-saving treatment. Road to Recovery's 500 volunteers provide the Palestinians with a free ride and the company of an Israeli to ease their fears.
