Israeli Youths Send 100K Masks to Wuhan Amid Outbreak

When COVID-19 hit Wuhan, a group of Israeli youths stepped up in a big way – proving that kindness knows no borders. Raz and Brian, co-founders of YChina (a youth-led platform sharing fun, authentic stories about life in China), mobilized their networks to gather 100,000 masks and gloves for the city at the outbreak's peak.

The duo scoured pharmacies in Tel Aviv, partnered with local hospitals and businesses, and tapped into their global community to secure supplies. 'We wanted to show solidarity,' Raz said. 'Helping others is just… human.'

Their grassroots effort highlights how young people worldwide are rewriting the rules of global citizenship – one mask, one connection at a time.

YChina, known for its viral videos bridging cultures, turned crisis into collaboration – a reminder that even in tough times, #GlobalSolidarity wins.
