ADI NEGEV-NAHALAT ERAN

ADI NEGEV-NAHALAT ERAN Stands with Israel: Israel Resilience Campaign Activity

• Located near Ofakim on the border with Gaza, ADI Negev-Nahalat Eran has become a critical site in the current War
• Before the Kaylie Rehabilitation Hospital at ADI Negev Nahalat Eran opened, there were only 850 rehabilitation beds in all of Israel, and none of them were located in the south. The new beds provided by this new hospital are quickly becoming essential to the care of the wounded.
• ADI Negev needs to be able to attract high-quality employees and volunteers (who still require food and housing) as they are down about 150 staff members, leaving those who are left to work around the clock. 
• Soon to open and operate a “beta” hospital as an emergency trauma and rehabilitation ward ready to receive patients from around the country
