On October 8, 2023 - one day after the Hamas massacre - pediatricians at Israel's National Human Milk Bank realized something no milk bank in the world had ever faced: dozens of healthy babies whose mothers had been murdered, abducted to Gaza, wounded, or called up for emergency IDF duty. The bank, operated by Magen David Adom, Israel's National Emergency Service, tripled its activity overnight - recruiting over 200 new donors, running MDA motorcycles through missile fire to collect milk daily, and working around the clock to ensure every baby received safe, screened donor breast milk. One of the babies' mothers was an Israeli Air Force Apache helicopter pilot who cut short her maternity leave to fly combat missions. "Giving of your own milk, giving part of yourself while nursing your own baby is the height of unconditional love," said the bank's chairman. More than 80% of families said the donated milk helped them cope with the consequences of the war. "They said they felt the whole country supported them." This is Israel. 🇮🇱🤍 @Mdais

From emergency medics to food rescue and global volunteers, new immigrants and civil society groups step up across Israel, sustaining daily life and frontline response as the war continues *** Aryeh Myers of Magen David Adom: National ambulance service has expanded to full deployment, with all vehicles staffed around the clock. “Nothing stops,” he said. “We respond to missile strikes and routine medical calls alike. The system has to handle both simultaneously.” According to Myers, about 90% of MDA’s workforce is made up of volunteers, reflecting what he described as a broader societal pattern. Marc Rosenberg, vice president of Diaspora Partnerships at Nefesh B’Nefesh: “It’s not just about getting through the crisis, it’s about people choosing to be here and help shape what comes next.” bit.ly/4rBBJA1   @NefeshBNefesh    @Mdais   #NefeshBnefesh #MDA #FirstResponders #Diaspora #Olim #Aliya #IsraelStory #War #Ministryofaliyah #TheJewishAgency #KKL #JNF

For Miriam Greenman, volunteering with Magen David Adom was about helping others and setting an example for her family. The very weekend she began her training, she experienced an unimaginable personal loss. Today, she continues to serve, even alongside the paramedics and ambulance crews who once helped her family, turning compassion into action every single day. For the past two years, Miriam has shown up for others in their most critical moments, carrying strength, purpose, and resilience with her.

Would you know what to do in the first seven minutes of an emergency? On February 4, the Long Beach Fire Department partnered with us to bring “The First Seven Minutes” training to Long Island’s South Shore. Led by senior paramedic Aryeh Myers of Magen David Adom, the hands-on program focused on the critical window before first responders arrive, when early action saves lives. More than 45 emergency professionals from the 2nd Battalion Fire District took part. Tap the link to read the full article: f.mtr.cool/pwhlzpjmxr

“I looked him in the eye and told him, I’ll do everything in my power to help you live.” On 7 October, paramedics from @Mdais rushed south to save lives on the front line. Among them was a proud female paramedic who stood strong in the face of tragedy, a symbol of courage, humanity, and hope. Every life matters. Every act of care counts. ❤️

Milwaukee’s Holy Redeemer Church hosted an interfaith blood drive with AFMDA and BCA, showing that compassion knows no borders. While donations support local hospitals, they could also help save lives in Israel if needed. An act of unity, faith, and healing across communities.
