On a Tuesday night in May, just five days after the Meron crowd-crush tragedy that killed 45, United Hatzalah held a mass-casualty incident (MCI) training drill in the northern city of Kiryat Shmona. The drill simulated a motor vehicle accident involving two minibuses that left patients of various ages with different injuries. Participating in the drill with United Hatzalah was the Israel Defense Forces; the Upper Galilee and Mt. Hermon search and rescue units; United Hatzalah’s psychotrauma team, run by Dr. Moshe Farchi of Tel-Hai College; the fire department; and the police department. The drill simulated more than 30 casualties with various injuries. The use of makeup and special effects helped create a realistic scenario in which emergency medical service personnel from all the different organizations could identify and treat the injured.
