The launch event took place in Herzliya and was attended by notable figures, including Economy Minister Nir Barkat, Mayor Yariv Fisher, and high-ranking police officials. During the event, Gilad Kornfeld, father of Tal Shoham who is still held captive in Gaza, delivered a heartfelt speech, reminding us of the suffering and the threat we are now facing from all directions. Economy Minister Nir Barkat praised Zaka Tel-Aviv's volunteers for their dedicated and professional work, particularly their heroic efforts during the events of October 7. He emphasized the unmatched speed and efficiency of Zaka Tel-Aviv's response to emergencies, calling them a symbol of mutual responsibility and contribution to Israeli society. Zaka Tel-Aviv's activities are crucial during these challenging times. Our volunteers operate tirelessly to manage casualties and provide essential support amidst ongoing threats. With hostages still held in Gaza and weekly terror attacks, the dangers facing the people of Israel are severe. The new special mission ambulance is incredibly useful, but more equipment is needed to continue our vital work. |
