After direct threats from Iran, The Fellowship is giving $1.62 million to strengthen medical infrastructure in northern Israel, preparing for any scenario, reports The Jerusalem Post:

Two major gifts have been allocated to hospitals in the Galilee region. The Tzafon Medical Center (Poriya) will receive a $1 million donation to equip its Trauma Unit, which has been focusing on readiness in response to recent attacks in Israel’s North.

“We are the only medical center in the North that caters to the trauma needs of the entire area,” said Dr. Noam Yehudai, Director of Tzafon Medical Center. “Last Saturday, with the massacre in Majdal Shams, we received four of the wounded, including three children and one 22-year-old young man, and if we had been required, we could have received double that amount, all thanks to the trauma room donated by the Fellowship.”

Additionally, the IFCJ is investing $620,000 in new equipment and medical supplies for the Italian Hospital in Nazareth.
