Rescue in Haiti

An Israeli army search and rescue team pulls a Haitian man alive from the rubble 125 hours after he was trapped by the earthquake.

The IDF sent an aid delegation of over 220 search and rescue and medical personnel to assist in the rescue efforts following the devastating earthquake in Haiti. Search and rescue teams are working around the clock to extract victims trapped in the rubble and the IDF has constructed a field hospital capable of treating up to 500 people a day near the soccer field in Port-au-Prince, Haiti.

Well done to them and to all those, regardless of nationality, now working to rescue, treat and assist the victims of the catastrophe.
