. COUNTRIES: HAITI : DISASTERS: EARTHQUAKES: 121-Member IDF Medical and Rescue Team Saves Haitian Government Worker 121-Member IDF Medical and Rescue Team Saves Haitian Government Worker Jan 18, 2010 1:11 | Updated Jan 18, 2010 3:19 By JUDY SIEGEL-ITZKOVICH Jerusalem Post <http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid= 1263147915110&pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull> A shorter URL for the above link: <http://tinyurl.com/y8rxw9y>Among the chaos and lack of law and order in Haiti since the earthquake that may have killed hundreds of thousands of people, the IDF medical and rescue team has seen a few points of light.
Not long after their arrival in Port-au-Prince, the team members saved the life of a customs clerk who was trapped in his office for 125 hours by debris, and then treated him in the Israeli field hospital - by far the largest, most equipped and best organized in the country.
It was the 121-member IDF team's first rescue since its arrival and establishment of the field hospital on Shabbat. More than 100 survivors have been treated, with three in 10 in serious condition and 50 percent moderately injured. Children comprise more than half of the injured, most with limb injuries and bone fractures. Nearly a dozen lifesaving operations have been performed.
