Bridges for Peace Helping IDF works to help Turkey Earthquake victims!

Beth Mather from Bridges For Peace New Zealand

An Israeli team of medical and search and rescue personnel is on the ground in crisis-stricken Turkey to help pull survivors from the rubble, set up a field hospital and treat the wounded. Thanks to the generosity of Christians around the world, Bridges for Peace had the honor of outfitting the team with the thermal underwear, fleeces, gloves, hats, scarves and headlamps they needed to function optimally in the subzero temperatures in the disaster area. Ahead of Shabbat, Lt. Col. Schul, the chief of operations of the Israeli field hospital, took the time to say thank you.

The Israeli team has already saved 17 civilians from the crushing debris. The field hospital has opened its doors and Israeli medical personnel are working around the clock to treat the injured. The destruction is horrendous and the needs are mammoth. Israel is making every effort to come to Turkey's aid—and you can help.

You can partner with Israel's rescue efforts in Turkey by giving to our Crisis Assistance Fund. Your donations will be allocated to continue to equip the Israeli team as they save lives amid the devastation.
