While Kiev and its environs have been relatively peaceful since the bloody clashes of February 18 and 19, hundreds of people are still suffering from wounds they incurred in the confrontation with forces loyal to then-president, Victor Yanukovych.
But according to JTA news, the efforts of volunteers in both Kiev and Israel made it possible for seven severely wounded patients to be airlifted to Israel Friday 7, where they are scheduled to receive treatment at the Kaplan Medical Center in Rehovot and at Hadassah Medical Center in Jerusalem.
Many of the wounded already have undergone multiple surgeries locally. But care in Ukrainian hospitals is deeply lacking, said Tzvi Arieli, a coordinator of the treatment effort who has lived in both Ukraine and Israel.
When you go into a public hospital in Ukraine, you dont know if you will leave dead, Arieli told JTA.
