What is Hatzola? The Jewish volunteer ambulance service targeted in 'cowardly' arson attack
"The vehicles belonged to Hatzola, a volunteer emergency service, with Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis condemning the attack as a sickening assault not only on the Jewish community, but on the values we share as a society."
"Established in 1979, Hatzola is a non-profit, volunteer-run organisation which provides an emergency medical response to those living in north London, staffed by 47 emergency first responders and 24 dispatchers."
"At a time when the NHS continues to face intense pressure from staff shortages, hospital handover delays and rising demand, Hatzola helps to ease the burden on frontline services."
