I had the privilege of handing over a 12,000-liter emergency water tank, donated by Israel through @MASHAVisrael, to support Montenegro’s firefighting and emergency response efforts.

Having personally experienced wildfire evacuations with my own family, I know how important preparedness is. Proud to deepen the friendship between Israel and Montenegro through practical cooperation and shared resilience. 🇮🇱🇲🇪

For many newborns, the difference between life and death comes down to having the right care and the right equipment available in the very first moments of life.

To help strengthen newborn care in Malawi, Neonatologists for Africa @neo4africa , in partnership with @MASHAVisrael, the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (@TheJDC), the Ruderman Family Foundation @RudermanFdn , and Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center (Ichilov Hospital), has donated specialized neonatal resuscitation equipment and ventilators to five hospitals across the country.

The equipment is being installed in delivery rooms and neonatal care units, ensuring that healthcare workers have access to the tools they need to respond quickly when every second matters.

More than a donation, this is an investment in stronger healthcare systems, better newborn outcomes, and a future where more children have the chance to celebrate their first day of life—and many more after that.
