Magen David Adom (MDA) has released recordings of emergency calls made on October 7th, detailing the desperate pleas for help received by dispatchers during the Hamas attacks. Tens of thousands of citizens called MDA's emergency centers, many not yet understanding the scale of the unfolding disaster. The recordings expose the chaos and helplessness experienced by both callers and operators.
On that "black Shabbat," 22,000 calls flooded the MDA hotline. Dispatchers, working within their limited capacity, attempted to provide assistance and comfort to those in dire need. This marks the first time these chilling recordings from that "cursed day" have been publicly revealed, alongside the stories of survivors.
One particularly harrowing call featured was from Bar Goddard, daughter of Mani Goddard, who was murdered on October 7th. His body was returned from Gaza after 769 days in captivity. At 8:00 AM on the day of the attack, Bar called MDA stating, "Urgent, to Kibbutz Be'eri, an ambulance, they shot my father."
