The cabinet has approved the establishment of a field hospital in western Ukraine to treat those impacted by the invasion.
The hospital will operate for roughly a month, the Foreign Ministry says in a statement.
The cost of establishing and operating the hospital will be NIS 21 million ($6.4 million), the Foreign Ministry says.
The hospital will include an emergency room, a delivery room, and treatment wards for men, women and children. It will also include X-ray machines brought from Sheba Hospital.
The operation, “Kochav Meir,” is named after the late Israeli prime minister Golda Meir, a native of Ukraine.
