The Israeli United Hatzalah rescue service says a delegation of 12 medical personnel are now heading to Ukraine’s neighbor Moldova, to assist civilians fleeing the war in Ukraine.
The delegation comprises EMTs, paramedics, doctors, a dentist, and members of its Psychotrauma and Crisis Response Unit.
They will be tasked with providing initial aid, assessing needs, and building comprehensive long-term treatment plans for fleeing refugees on the border with Ukraine, the organization says.
In Moldova, they will meet additional team members joining from Miami, Florida, and in the coming days, an additional team of 30 medical personnel will depart from Israel to join them, it adds.
