What Makes Israel A Heavyweight In International Relief Efforts: A Fireside Chat With Yotam Polizer, CEO Of IsraAID
Description
In 2011, after a large earthquake and tsunami struck Japan, killing tens of thousands of people, Israeli teams were on the ground, providing critical relief and rescue operations.
