Culminating an emergency effort, which has resulted in more than 70 ambulances being sent to Israel during the current crisis, two more ambulances were officially presented to Malka Ben-Yosef, Consul of Israel, by the American Red Mogen Dovid for Israel and Joseph Gussman, the donor, at special ceremonies at the Israel Consulate.
Warmly hailing Mr. Gussman’s gift was a message from Dr. Joseph Kott, the chairman of the Mages David Adom in Israel, which read in part: “This double gift of ambulances comes at a most critical time. While our casualties during the recent hostilities were minimal alongside our adversaries, to a nation of only two and a half million they were directly felt. Gifts such as these ambulances are helping us carry our current burden.”
