IDF Comes Home From Haiti

After receiving more than 1,100 patients in Haiti, 319 surgeries, and 16 births, the IDF has returned to Israel. However, they did not leave Haiti without distributing 30 tons of medical supplies, 1,150 blankets, 30 large tents, 500 mattresses, 200 sleeping bags, and kitchen equipment.


And one more thing the IDF did before leaving Haiti.

They brought a five year old Haitian boy with a congenital defect to Israel. The boy flew with the IDF back to Israel and the boy will undergo life saving heart surgery in Israel.

Here you can see the Haitian boy landing at Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv.

The world continues to ignore Israel's extraordinary relief efforts in Haiti. Without Israel and the IDF field hospital that many other delegations relied on including the U.S., many more Haitians would have died from infections and other injuries sustained during the earthquake.

U.N. asks Israel to intervene

In an odd change of course, the U.N., which routinely bashes Israel and sides with the Arab nations who terrorize Israeli citizens and even their own people, asks Israel of all countries to send police to Haiti to help keep the peace since anarchy has become a major issue in that country since the earthquake. This is unbelievable.  What a story!

Are we seeing a revolution here?

Israel has been the victim of more U.N. condemnations than any other country in the history of the planet even when Israel is acting in accordance with international law.

Contrast the U.N-Israel relationship with the Arab countries who have been propped up by the U.N. for years and validated as the oppressed instead of the oppressors. Yet, in a time of crisis, its Israel that the U.N. reaches out to not the  the Arab countries who are nowhere to be found in Haiti.   (Saudi Arabia, a very wealthy country sitting on a ton of oil, has not even sent a dime to the people of Haiti let alone medical supplies or simple accessories that could be of huge benefit).

You would think that the U.N., who apparently is in love with the Arab nations, would ask Saudi Arabia to send some of their oil dollars over to Haiti.

Instead, who do they ask for intervention? They ask Israel, the Jewish state. The country that the U.N. hates the most.  Hmmmm 

Here are the statistics thus far of the IDF Field Hospital in Haiti:

1) 383 people, including many children, have been treated in the hospital
2) 140 life saving operations
3) Seven babies have been delivered

A closer look into the Israeli delegation:

-40 doctors, 25 nurses, paramedics, a pharmacy, a children's ward, a radiology department

-an intensive care unit, an emergency room, two operating rooms, a surgical department, an internal department and a maternity ward

-The hospital can treat approximately 500 patients each day, and in addition will perform preliminary surgeries

-A search-and-rescue team, which has rescued about five people from under the rubble

-220 personnel in total

-Dozens of truckloads of medical and logistical equipment

Is there any doubt that Israel is light onto the nations? Even the U.N. thinks so until the next resolution.

Israel on the Scene in Haiti

Whenever there is a natural disaster in the world, Israel is always on the scene. With one of the largest international aid delegations on the ground in Haiti, Israel has set up the only makeshift hospital  in Haiti thus far to treat the victims.

In additon to the IDF rescue units, the Israeli organization ZAKA, known for responding to terrorist attacks in Israel within minutes of the attack, are also on the ground in Haiti.

Here are pictures and footage of ZAKA  and the IDF in action treating victims.


While ZAKA were involved in rescue operations,  a very moving story occurred. The ZAKA  crew had stopped rescuing temporarily  for Sabbath prayers. Donned with prayer shawls, the ZAKA crew prayed amidst corpses and  the stench of death and destruction. While they were praying, a group of Haitians gathered to watch these men pray. These Haitians thought that the ZAKA crew  were praying for a speedy recovery of the injured and in memory of the dead.  The locals were so moved by the ZAKA crew that they kissed their prayer shawls.

In all, ZAKA has rescued eight Haitians who were trapped in the wreckage.
