During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, a remarkable partnership emerged between China and Israel, showcasing the power of global cooperation in the face of adversity. Vlogger Raz Galor, owner and host of Y-China, shared insights into how this collaboration not only provided essential medical supplies but also fostered emotional support among Israelis grappling with rising coronavirus cases.
Professor Eyal Leshem, Israel's top infectious disease expert at Sheba Medical Center, highlighted the pivotal role of the Peking Union Medical College Hospital. Since the early stages of the pandemic, this Chinese institution reached out to numerous Israeli hospitals, establishing a robust communication channel through weekly conference calls. These interactions facilitated the exchange of vital knowledge on treatments, sharing of medical equipment, and collective experiences in combating the virus.
Beyond the medical front, the partnership extended to educational initiatives. As Israel prepared to reopen schools, Chinese teachers contributed by sharing the safest and most effective methods for students to return to classrooms, ensuring that the next generation could resume their studies with confidence.
Raz Galor emphasized the profound kindness that underpinned this international cooperation. "I discovered that people from different cultures, backgrounds, and beliefs can come together to help solve each other's problems," he stated. He expressed hope that in future crises, humanity would continue to embrace understanding and collaboration rather than division and misunderstanding.
