The Fellowship supports Magen David Adom, the national rescue organization of the state of Israel. And recently we provided funding for the operating costs for three years for two Mobile Intensive Care Units in northern Israel.
The grant was given due to the increase in medical activity in the area, and in light of the growing need for advanced, rapid, and accessible medical response which will now be provided in each of these cities in northern Israel.
Recently, Fellowship staff members went to the Magen David Adom station in Pardes Hanna where the two Mobile Intensive Care Units are located. One of the Mobile ICU vehicles has been dedicated to the Bibas family, who were kidnapped from their home on Kibbutz Nir Oz during the October 7 massacre. Yarden Bibas, the father, was later released. Shiri, the mother, and their sons Ariel, 4, and Kfir, 9 months old, were murdered.
The Magen David Adom station is located in the middle of Pardes Hanna. At the station, our staff spoke with Orian Keenan (a director for the Magen David Adom) who is responsible for the station in Pardes Hanna. Orian spoke about the significance of the Mobile ICU vehicles to the Pardes Hanna station. Until now, there was only a regular ambulance that was not equipped and suitable for treating complex medical situations.
On February 27, 2025, a hit-and-run attack occurred at the Pardes Hanna-Karkur intersection in which a terrorist ran over a group of people waiting at a bus stop. This attack killed Yaheli Gur, a 17-year-old girl. This attack only emphasized the need to reinforce the Magen David Adom station in the city and the lifesaving significance of the Mobile ICU vehicles donated by The Fellowship.
