From GMA News (Nov 16): Israel army medics deliver baby in typhoon-hit Cebu
Israeli army medics have delivered a baby in the typhoon-hit central
Philippines, and the grateful mother named him Israel.
About 150 members
of the Israeli Defense Forces Home Front Command set up a field hospital in Bogo
city on Cebu Island a week after Typhoon Haiyan killed at least 3,633 people and
injured 12,487 others, according to the latest toll Saturday.
A day
later, on Friday, Audrin Antigua was rushed in from among a long line of
patients seeking treatment.
According to Dr. Reuven Keidar, quoted by the
Israeli Embassy in Manila, Antigua gave birth to a healthy boy hours later. She
named him Israel.
Israel's response to the disaster in the Philippines
follows similar relief operations the country mounted in Haiti in 2010 and
Turkey in 2011.
