EU Ambassador–designate Lars Faaborg-Andersen visits Ziv Medical Centre, congratulates medical staff on providing treatment to injured Syrians

 

Today, EU Ambassador-designate Lars Faaborg –Andersen visited the Ziv Medical Centre in Safed to observe at first hand the medical treatment being provided to civilians injured in the fighting in Syria.  At the conclusion of the visit, Ambassador-designate Faaborg –Andersen said:



"I want to thank the Director of the Ziv Medical Centre, Dr. Oscar Embon for this opportunity to see with my own eyes the wonderful treatment the hospital is providing to injured Syrians. I was deeply impressed by the dedication of the medical staff that is sparing no effort to provide the injured patients, many of them children, with the best possible medical care.  

 

This commitment to the welfare of other human beings, regardless of the fact that they belong to an enemy nation, should be a source of pride to all Israelis.

We have all been horrified by the scale and intensity of the fighting in Syria.

 

The European Union has also mobilized to deal with the terrible humanitarian effects of the crisis. Just two weeks ago the EU allocated €85m for Syrian refugees bringing our total humanitarian support so far to €400m. About half of this sum will be spent inside Syria to help civil society groups provide basic services while the other half will be used to help Jordan cope with the 500,000 Syrian refugees on its territory."
