IDF medical teams are preparing to spend two weeks in Haiti and to see an average of 500 patients a day, Chief IDF Medical Corps Officer Brig.-Gen. Nahman Ash said Thursday, a day after a devastating earthquake ripped through the country on Wednesday.


The delegation will consist of 121 members, including 40 doctors and five search-and-rescue teams. The delegation will lift off on two planes at 8 p.m. from Ben-Gurion International Airport.

Ash said that the field hospital would likely be set up in an area in or around the Haitian capital of Port-au-Prince and would remain for at least two weeks.

"We assume that in the first stage we will deal with trauma patients and then the next round will be people suffering from infections and secondary illnesses," Ash said. The field hospital, he said, would have surgery rooms, and several beds in an Intensive Care Unit

9. no... that's not what most think

I personal expect this from all nations who have the means to help out, even though I disagree with what they are doing to Palestinians.

2. I predict silence at best for this thread. At worst, it's not going to go well.

:popcorn:

You're not allowed to say anything positive about the, uh, "Zionist Entity".

11. I think any nation that sends whatever assistance it can spare should be acknowledged.

It doesn't and shouldn't get them off the hook for the things they are doing wrong, including the US, Russia, China, and any other nation. I think that the populace of most developed nations understand that we are interconnected and need to help people who do not have the resources we do.
