JMA UK is devastated to learn of the senseless, vicious destruction of emergency ambulances in north London overnight.
This act will deprive local people of life-saving emergency facilities.

Hatzola UK is a respected part of the healthcare system in London and other British cities and provides, to people of all backgrounds, emergency services that complement and help take pressure off those provided by the NHS.

It is run by volunteers, of whom not all are Jewish and some of whom are our members. We salute them for the wonderful work they do in addition to their NHS and other healthcare roles.

Thankfully no-one has been harmed as a result of this hateful attack. We hope the perpetrators will be brought to justice.

We are relieved to hear that the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care has today offered to provide replacement ambulances, which will help Hatzola to continue to save lives.

As part of the Jewish community and the wider health community in the UK we condemn this incident and thank other organisations outside the community for their support at this time in calling out this unacceptable act of vandalism targeting a Jewish healthcare provider.
