ACTIVISM

Eli Bin

CEO

Eli Bin is the CEO of Magen David Adom (MDA), Israel's national emergency medical, disaster, ambulance, and blood bank service. Two weeks before the pogrom launched by Hamas terrorists against communities in southern Israel on Oct. 7, Bin announced a campaign to provide 300 additional ambulances to its current fleet of 1,400. "We know that Hezbollah is ... capable of striking virtually any part of Israel, and the devastation from a conflict with that group would inflict many more casualties," he said. "And that means our ability to treat the wounded and transport them quickly to Israeli hospitals will be of paramount importance." Bin added that "these are challenging times. MDA and Israel face much more complex challenges today than we did five, 10 or 15 years ago ... With the continued help of our American friends, however, we'll be ready to respond and provide critical care wherever it's needed." (Photo: AFMDA)
