President and founder of United Hatzalah Eli Beer flew to Moldova on Monday in an impromptu visit, heading into Ukraine to encourage volunteers of the organization who are active in the conflict zone and to deliver much-needed medical supplies.

As part of the trip, Beer spent some time praying at the gravesite of Rabbi Nachman of Breslov in Uman for a quick end to the war and for the speedy recovery of those injured.

He and his team then went to Bucha and Kyiv, where they met with United Hatzalah members, and various health and government officials, to get a better understanding of the ongoing needs in the country.

Since the outbreak of Russia’s war on Ukraine, United Hatzalah has been active in providing humanitarian aid and medical care and supplies to refugees, as well as operated ambulance teams inside Ukraine who have treated and rescued countless individuals thus far. The organization also arranged air transport for nearly 3,000 Ukrainian refugees to Israel.
