Israel’s national emergency service, Magen David Adom, is donating four bulletproof ambulances to Ukraine amid Russia’s invasion.
The ambulances are being flown to Europe and will be delivered to Ukraine’s health services in an initiative led by Yisrael Beytenu MK Alex Kushnir and with the assistance of the Jewish Agency, MDA says in a statement.
The ambulances had previously been used by MDA to treat wounded in the Second Lebanon War and to rescue wounded soldiers from the northern and southern frontiers while under fire, the statement says.
“The bulletproof ambulances are specially adapted for use in Ukraine and are equipped and designed [for medics] to provide medical care under fire, during war,” MDA says.
