I was surprised by the timely organization and scale, their capacity to act quickly and appropriately in crisis situations "- said Noam Ifrah.

"Red Cross and Red Shield of David of Israel have a long-term partnership and our cooperation is very active. We are deeply grateful for the experience and best practices in rescue operations that are exchanged with Israeli counterparts. Because, as Mr. Avinoam Katrieli said, Israeli Magen David Adom is the best organization in the World to work in crisis situations with multiple casualties. "With these words, President of BRC Hristo Grigorov accepted the keys of the two medical vehicles.

After the ceremony the agreement on cooperation between the Red Shield of David of Israel and BRC was countersigned.
