Israeli man starts 'Good Samaritan' charity to get injured Syrian women and children to Israel for medical help

An Israel-based charity providing health care for displaced Syrian women and children by taking them to Israeli hospitals is breaking down stereotypes and historical enmities, one case at a time.

Mordechai ‘Moti’ Kahana, an Israeli-American businessman and philanthropist, poured his own money into helping those displaced by the Syrian civil war in 2011. He sold his company and founded Amaliah, a New York-run charity focused on getting aid into the war-torn country., in 2013.

Mr Kahana told The Independent he was inspired to devote his time to helping the victims of Syria's complex war after a visit to the Holocaust Museum in Jerusalem in 2010. "Never again - not to us and to no one else," he said.

"I cannot let these people suffer and die and walk away from it. I just cannot do it."

Glad to know of this. The Golan Heights in Syria look down on Lake Kinneret, also known as the Sea of Galilee, in the northern part of Israel. Neighbors. Just donated. Couldn't find any info on the group easily but their website is interesting and uplifting.
