Hatzoloh Fights Magen David Adom Efforts to Keep Volunteers Away from Emergency Scenes

By Yechiel Sever

Chareidi emergency services organizations Ichud Hatzoloh and Hatzoloh Gush Dan are launching a resolute battle against Magen David Adom figures seeking to undermine their independence and their volunteers' dedicated efforts to provide first aid in accordance with halochoh based on directives by rabbonim.

In recent months efforts have been made not to notify Hatzoloh volunteers of emergency situations, at times endangering lives by not providing Hatzoloh response teams with real-time information due to extraneous considerations at Magen David Adom dispatch centers.
