MDA Sderot EMS Station

On March 30, 2008, AFMDA dedicated the new MDA Sderot Emergency Medical Station named in memory of Judy Kaplan of New York and Esther and Hyman Rapport of Cleveland.

The new Sderot station combines a large ambulance bay area with a dispatch facility, offices and multiple rooms for crews to rest during shifts. The building was constructed to updated standards that make much of it protected against rocket attacks, allowing crews to easily move to safety when hearing the Tzeva Adomalert.In Sderot and the surrounding western Negev region, MDA remains on high alert, racing to the scene of every Qassam rocket and mortar attack to protect and care for Israels people.

During the Gaza War in December 2008-January 2009 MDA was well equipped to handle emergencies, thanks to the recent activity of American Friends of Magen David Adom in the western Negev, Negev and coastal areas.
