On the other hand

In recent days, approximately 140 storks reached the Jewish Agency’s Hula Lake Park, even though the wintry conditions indicate that the season is not yet over.

The birds were observed drying their feathers during brief breaks of sunshine.

According to estimates, around 600,000 storks will pass over Israeli skies in the coming months as part of the spring migration.

According to the prevailing theory, the males are the first to migrate, hurrying back to their nesting sites to prepare and reinforce the nest ahead of the females’ arrival.

Hula Lake Park is one of Israel’s most important habitats along the bird migration route and serves as a critical stopover for migratory birds, thanks both to its abundant food supply and to the safe space it offers for rest and energy replenishment.

 

FLYING KANGAROOS

 An exceptional and complex logistics operation took place as 20 kangaroos were flown from Israel to a zoo in Moscow via Etihad Cargo, in a process that was planned and prepared over half a year. This is one of the most complex animal transport operations recently seen, especially to a sensitive and challenging destination like Russia.

The kangaroos, originating from the Guru Park in the Beit Shean Valley, were transferred as part of a donation to the Moscow zoo, due to an excess of animals at the site. Beyond the ethical aspect, this is one of the most complex logistics projects in the industry: transporting live animals, especially to a destination that is not considered simple from a regulatory perspective, requires compliance with stringent health and animal welfare standards, export and import approvals, veterinary supervision, and international coordination.

 

ANOTHER HOSPITAL UPDATE

Israeli hospitals are functioning in a war situation.

Last week’s video showed the world’s largest underground hospital in Haifa.

This video gives you a glimpse of how Shaare Zedek Medical Centre in Jerusalem transformed its underground car park to receive patients needing immediate medical care.
