Some babies are happy to wait until their parents are ready. Others have plans of their own!

When a 25-year-old mother in northern Israel went into labor, she and her husband called MDA, hoping to reach the hospital in time. But their little girl had other ideas!
Moments later, a healthy baby girl took her very first breath right inside an MDA ambulance.

For MDA senior EMT Hussani Dalasha (35), a father of two and volunteer of 12 years, the moment was especially meaningful. “As a father myself, this moment touched me especially deeply,” he shared.

MDA volunteer lead paramedic Shay Ashkenazi (22) felt the same joy: “It was an incredible experience. An extraordinary sense of purpose that reminded me why I chose to do this work.”

Hussani and Shay, we are so proud of you! Thank you for reminding us that saving lives sometimes means welcoming new ones into the world. 🚑💛
Welcome to the world, little one! 💕

Shabbat Shalom 🙏🏻

Last week a ceremony was held at Magen David Adom’s headquarters in Ramla to inaugurate 96 new ambulances, marking 96 years of Magen David Adom, Israel’s national emergency medical service, life-saving activities.

The new ambulances were inaugurated at a ceremony attended by Michel Ktorza, President of the European Friends of MDA, and MDA Director General Eli Bin, alongside MDA employees and volunteers. They were generously donated by distinguished donors from the United States, Canada, France, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Belgium and Australia, through MDA Friends’ Associations around the world.

The new ambulances will be deployed throughout Israel, strengthening Magen David Adom’s emergency medical response, helping reduce response times and enabling MDA teams to save lives in routine times and emergencies, wherever they are needed.

MDA Director General Eli Bin: “In its 96th year of operation, Magen David Adom is inaugurating 96 new ambulances, adding to the fleet of approximately 2,000 ambulances already operating throughout Israel to save lives. While 96 is a mature age, Israel’s national emergency medical service is young and strong, equipped with cutting-edge, modern lifesaving capabilities. These enable us to meet the challenges, scenarios and emergency situations that arise in Israel. I would like to thank our generous donors and the Friends’ Associations around the world, who do extraordinary work to strengthen Magen David Adom in fulfilling its foremost mission - saving lives.”

🇮🇱 IMDAC 2026 – Day 4 | Wednesday 21 October

The final day of IMDAC 2026 was filled with insightful discussions, inspiring presentations and a wonderful reminder of why we are so proud to be part of the Magen David Adom family.

We heard from former MK and diplomat Ruth Wasserman Lande, who shared her insights into Israel's international relationships, and Gilad Erdan, former Israeli Ambassador to the US and UN and now Global President of MDA, who discussed Israel's political landscape.

To the sounds of I Come From Down Under, MDA Australia Chairperson, Glynis Lipson, proudly presented Magen David Adom Australia's annual report alongside presentations from other international Friends societies.

The conference concluded with a special evening at ANU – Museum of the Jewish People in Tel Aviv, where we heard an extraordinary story of MDA volunteers and the power of MDA's lifesaving services.

A young MDA volunteer, just 25 weeks pregnant, unexpectedly went into labour while her husband was overseas. Drawing on her paramedic training, she remained calm and delivered her baby herself. MDA teams rushed mother and baby to hospital, where the premature newborn received specialist care.

Unable to initially produce breast milk, the mother relied on donated milk from MDA's Human Milk Bank to nourish her tiny baby. When her own milk supply developed, she went on to donate milk back to the bank to help other vulnerable infants.

Today, her little boy is a thriving 15-month-old! ❤️

A remarkable story of courage, community and the lifesaving work of MDA.

As IMDAC 2026 comes to a close, we return home inspired, proud and grateful to be part of this incredible international MDA family.

Until next year, IMDAC! 🇮🇱❤️

🇮🇱 IMDAC 2026 – Day 3 | Tuesday 20 October

What an incredible day in Israel!

We began in Kfar Hasidim, in northern Israel, for the cornerstone-laying ceremony of a new Magen David Adom station, generously funded by MDA Netherlands. Their Chair, Marjan Sprecher, delivered a moving speech dedicating the station to her late husband, who devoted many years to supporting MDA.

Next, we visited the Haifa Naval Base, where we heard from the Base Commander and met an inspiring young woman who is one of just three female boat commanders at the base. A fascinating insight into the dedication, teamwork and responsibility involved in protecting Israel's coastline.

After lunch at the beautiful Ramat Hanadiv Botanical Gardens, we headed to what was undoubtedly the highlight of the day – the dedication ceremony for a fleet of new MDA ambulances and medicycles! 🚑🏍️

We were especially proud to see four medicycles generously donated through MDA Australia, thanks to:

❤️ Mark Holckner & Family
❤️ Peter Rudaizky & Family
❤️ Goldie Malin
❤️ MDA Australia Community

Seeing the incredible line-up of emergency vehicles, lights flashing and surrounded by dedicated MDA personnel, was a truly special moment.

It was a powerful reminder of what our donors and supporters in Australia help make possible – equipping MDA's lifesavers with the vehicles and resources they need to respond quickly and save lives across Israel.

A wonderful day filled with pride, gratitude and a shared commitment to saving lives. 🇮🇱❤️

IMDAC 2026 – Day 2 | Monday 19 October 🇮🇱

Another incredible day in Israel for our IMDAC 2026 delegates!

An early start took us back to Ramla, this time to the Home Front Command base, where we heard from the Unit Commander about the devastating impact of missile attacks on civilian communities.

We then witnessed an extraordinary simulated disaster response involving a missile strike on an apartment building, conducted jointly by Home Front Command and Magen David Adom.

Watching the precision, coordination and professionalism of both organisations working together was truly impressive. It was a powerful reminder of the extensive training, preparation and expertise behind Israel's emergency response teams and the extraordinary work of MDA.

After a delicious lunch at Jerusalem Street, a beautiful outdoor restaurant in the hills outside Jerusalem, we headed to the Old City.

Our afternoon included a fascinating visit to the Wohl Archaeological Museum, exploring homes, artefacts and mikvahs dating back to the Second Temple period.

A special highlight was meeting a group of young MDA volunteers who live and serve in Jerusalem's Old City. Their dedication, generosity and commitment to helping others were truly inspiring.

We ended our visit with a meaningful stop at the Kotel, before returning to the hotel after another memorable day.

A day filled with learning, inspiration and an even greater appreciation for the remarkable people who make Magen David Adom what it is. ❤️🇮🇱

IMDAC 2026 – Day 1 🇮🇱

IMDAC 2026 kicked off with great excitement as delegates from around the world reunited, renewing friendships and connections built over many years.

Day 1 was held at the Marcus Blood Centre, with an engaging program featuring presentations from IMDAC Chairman Gershon Trimpol, MDA Director General Eli Bin, and an inspiring look at the Kiryat MDA Campus Project, which will bring world-class new facilities to the Ramla site.

We also heard from Jordana Cutler of Meta, along with encouraging updates from several MDA Friends societies.

The day concluded with a wonderful rooftop dinner, where we heard an incredibly moving story from a young MDA volunteer who lost both legs while serving in the IDF in Gaza. His extraordinary courage, determination to walk again and passion to return to his training role at MDA left many of us in tears.

It was a powerful reminder of the resilience, dedication and spirit of those who serve MDA.

An inspiring and emotional first day, filled with learning, connection and purpose.

Looking forward to Day 2! ❤️🚑

18/10/2026

Our delegates visited Magen David Adom (מגן דוד אדום)’s national headquarters with a tour led by Aryeh Myers, Senior Paramedic & International Relations Liaison at MDA.

The sheer scale of the facility, including its protected underground spaces, was incredible. They saw emergency vehicles up close, including a large bus equipped to treat multiple casualties at once.

They also visited the human milk bank, where donated breast milk helps care for premature babies.

As our mission comes to a close, it is difficult to find words to express just how phenomenal this experience has been. Through our own work at WIZO, we know how much goes into supporting people and communities. Sharing this final day with other organisations, connecting over that shared purpose and seeing the work they do was a fitting way to end our time in Israel.

Thank you wizovic for including Magen David Adom in your mission! We are so appreciative of your support 🙏🏻
