One of the smallest countries in the world- Israel0 surpassed by far the largest in the world- China- in providing search-and-rescue and medical assitance to the victims of the 7.8-magnitude earthquake that devastated Nepal on April 25.

Not only was the Israel Defense Forces’ field hospital by far the largest, with 260 people, including 45 physicians and with nurses, x-ray technicians and more. It was also among the speediest to arrive, even though the team came from nearly 5,000 kilometers away, and it included the director-general of a major Israeli medical center and senior department chairman rather than only physicians.
