MDA paramedics treated victims inside an MDA station under fire
Georgi Guliak, a senior paramedic at MDA, woke up on Saturday and went to his regular shift at the Magen David Adom station in Sderot.

Just before he arrived at the station, he started hearing gunshots on the road he was travelling on. Victims, including those in serious and critical condition, began arriving at the station. As they provided initial medical care, massive gunfire was heard outside. The team decided to lock the doors, take shelter inside the station, and continue treating the severely wounded who remained at the station until they could be evacuated to hospitals in bulletproof MICUs.
After a few hours, Georgi, who was in command of the MDA teams at the Sderot station throughout the day, and the other paramedics learned that terrorists had taken over the police station in Sderot. In the evening hours, after joint treatment sites for the IDF and MDA were set up, the paramedics began evacuating the injured from the police station under live fire and risking their lives. Some of the injured were transferred to hospitals by helicopter.
that’s awesome thank God they were there. I was a firefighter and I know what they do. Hats off to them.
