...pulling people from under the debris, performing operations and even delivering babies. They were the first to arrive and were surrounded by medical teams from Russia, Colombia and the U.K. It was the same in the recent Turkish earthquake, the same Israeli team was there, and I looked in vain, in various media, for a hint of it.
