"Israeli Surgeons Heal Children from Africa and
Gaza"
Doctors in Israel save the lives of hundreds of infant heart
patients from around the world each year.
The two doctors move to the side of the pediatric ICU at the Wolfson
Hospital in Holon and speak in hushed tones.
"I looked at the smear and it is definitely sickle cell
anemia," Amir
Lotan, a hematologist, tells his colleague Tzion Houri.

 Diabetes Revolution in Israel!
An Israeli team is developing a new method
for
treating Diabetes.
About 285 million people are living with diabetes
worldwide. Several kinds of
treatment options exist, but all of them have
drawbacks. For example, insulin
therapy can trigger everything from weight gain to
hypoglycemia, and its
administration must be constantly controlled and
monitored by the patient.

An Incredible
Medical Miracle - Made in Israel!
"Don't worry about it.
You're probably just overly
stressed." That was the
message I kept hearing
from doctors at my health clinic.
They repeatedly assured me that
their cursory
exams revealed nothing of
interest.
It was 2003, about a year
after I made aliyah, when I first
started noticing signs that
something was
wrong. I grew tired and weak from
my usual, everyday activities.
And I had
issues with simple coordination;
I couldn't even keep a grip on
items -- they
just fell through my fingers. It
was a challenge to do basic
things like eating
because I struggled to keep the
food behind closed lips.
When my eyesight began to slowly
deteriorate, I grew increasingly
worried. A few years prior, I had
undergone
surgery to remove benign brain
tumors called meningiomas. One of
the first
symptoms they had caused was
reduced vision. So I knew the
problem was far more
serious than stress.

Urgent Need for Kindergarten Bomb Shelters
(NITZAN,
Israel) United
with Israel has
been notified
by local
Israeli
official Yossi
Dahari of the
urgent need for
kindergarten
bomb shelters
in Nitzan, a
coastal
town located
near Ashkelon
in southern
Israel.
Children are
living in fear
of
attack and have
literally no
where to run
when the
"Code
Red" sirens
blast. Once
again, United
with Israel is
turning to YOU
- our global
community
of Israel
supporters for
help.
Nitzan is a
community of
refugees from
the once
thriving Jewish
communities of Gush Katif
(in the Gaza
Strip). Nearly
10,000 Jewish
residents were
forced to abandon
their homes
during one of
the most
painful and
tragic episodes in Israel's
history, the
2005
Disengagement
from Gaza.
