Magen David Adom has established an emergency clinic inside a shelter in Kibbutz Misgav Am, a community along Israel’s northern border, as Hezbollah terrorists attack Israel’s north.

The clinic is equipped with CPR equipment, first aid supplies, bandages, medications, beds, and more advanced medical equipment. Kibbutz Misgav Am residents and those of nearby communities will be able to receive initial treatment during emergencies until additional MDA teams arrive.

Located in the upper Galilee just across Israel’s border with Lebanon, Kibbutz Misgav Am is a community of approximately 240 residents. The nearest city is Kiryat Shmona.

“MDA is committed to making lifesaving treatment accessible even in the most remote and threatened communities,” remarked MDA Director-General Eli Bin of the new emergency facility.

MDA paramedic Igor Krasny, a kibbutz resident who will help manage the clinic, explained its importance saying, “We are right on the Lebanon border. The nearest MDA station is in Kiryat Shmona, and rocket fire can block the roads. Now we have the equipment we need to treat the injured until MDA teams arrive.”

Kibbutz residents also received first aid training to strengthen community resilience during emergencies. MDA Chief Paramedic Dr. Shafir Botner and Yossi Halabi, director of the immediate response department, led the effort to establish the fully equipped clinic.

Kibbutz members were grateful for the new MDA clinic. “The clinic can serve not only us but also the surrounding communities,” said Misgav Am’s secretary, Erez Bergman.

“Thank you to MDA for this wonderful contribution. The clinic allows us to provide an immediate medical response and save lives,” kibbutz chairman Bogdan Domitrescu added. “We must be prepared for any scenario.”
