Israel flies medical aid to India An Israeli plane loaded with medical aid arrived to India this morning and others will soon follow. Medical equipment from Israel arrives at the Indira airport in India, May 5, 2021. - Israeli Foreign Ministry
May 5, 2021
Israel began to send emergency medical aid to India yesterday to help fight the world s biggest COVID-19 surge. The Foreign Ministry tweeted this morning, We are delighted that the first shipment containing oxygen generators and concentrators sent from Israel last night has now arrived in India. Israel is committed to helping our precious friend India to win this battle against COVID-19. Israel stands with India.
India is currently in the midst of a deadly surge of COVID-19 infections that has left the country devastated as the death toll mounts and hospitals are beyond capacity. Daily cases have crossed the record-breaking threshold of 350,000 a day. India has witnessed more than 219,000 deaths by the beginning of May, according to The New York Times, though experts are saying that the actual figures are much higher.
The country is experiencing major shortages of medical supplies like lifesaving oxygen ventilators and Indian healthcare providers are struggling to cope with the massive influx of new COVID-19 patients. In addition, misinformation is rampant in the subcontinent, as fake news stories, conspiracy theories, and unsubstantiated information continues to circulate, causing unnecessary anxiety and complicating the country’s fight against the pandemic.
But there is so much more to the legendary stories of his life.
Once, as Glatstein and his brother were dragged into the Dachau crematorium, praying “Shema Yisrael” as they prepared for death, a Nazi guard hollered and pulled them out, insisting they were still healthy enough to work. Glatstein’s family later characterized the guard as the prophet Elijah in disguise.
“That guard, he didn’t save my father and brother he saved me, he saved my children, he saved my grandchildren,” Yossi Glatstein said. “Do you want to know where God was during the Holocaust? He was saving my entire family from the crematorium.”
