When COVID-19 cases surged in China last week, a group of Israeli influencers at YChina – a content collective founded by global youth – rolled up their sleeves to deliver hope. Raz Galor and Brian Kanefsky mobilized 100,000+ masks, gloves, and medical supplies in just 12 hours – proving speed and solidarity can outpace a pandemic. 🚀
But sending help wasn’t smooth sailing. Flight cancellations, customs hurdles, and supplier red tape turned their mission into a logistical maze. 🌪️ \"It felt like solving a Rubik’s Cube blindfolded,\" Raz joked. With donations pouring in (216 boxes worth!), their team raced against time to secure cargo space – aided by Chinese teammates worldwide and local companies. 🤝
Their perseverance paid off: supplies reached Huanggang Central Hospital in Hubei Province, a COVID hotspot. The effort, fueled by late-night WeChat brainstorming and cross-border trust, showcases the power of unity in crisis. 💡
YChina, known for viral videos bridging cultures, has now written a real-life chapter of global solidarity. As Brian puts it: \"Pandemics don’t check passports. Neither does kindness.\" 🌏
