In the wake of last night’s arson attack in Golders Green where four Hatzola ambulances were set ablaze, here are some donation links to show your support.
Hatzola ambulances are for everyone in the community – Jewish and non Jewish alike –and provide critical, lifesaving care without charge, while easing the burden on the NHS.
Hatzola writes on its website: “To target [the ambulances] is not only an act of violence, but an attack on the very values of compassion and humanity that bind our community together.
“We are launching an urgent appeal to rebuild what has been lost - we cannot to afford to let our life saving work be put on pause. We need immediate support so we can source: new ambulances, strengthening security, equipping the teams, restocking and ensuring we can continue to respond safely and effectively in every emergency.”
The CST protects the Jewish community against antisemitic attacks.
Health Secretary Wes Streeting has since confirmed that the government will replace the ambulances without charge to the community or Hatzola.
“The Jewish community should not be left footing the bill for this appalling attack on a brilliant ambulance service,” he said.
“Those responsible for this attack must know that the Jewish community will not face up to this hatred alone. The whole country will stand with them.”
