IsraAid is a non-profit organisation helping the world s crisis hotspots
A British expat is helping to mastermind the first operation aimed at sharing Israel’s vaccine expertise across the developing world.
And as Tamar Kosky Lazarus directs the aid trip she helped plan from mission control in Tel Aviv, another British-Israeli, epidemiologist Michael Edelstein who recently relocated from London to Israel, is part of the team getting to work in Africa.
Kosky Lazarus, 39, is senior development director at IsraAID, a non-profit organisation that has 350 staff helping in crisis and post-crisis spots. This week it launched what it says will be the first of several vaccine-focused aid operations and sent a team to the small African country of Eswatini (formerly Swaziland).
