Imagine suiting up daily for a high-stakes mission where your tools are swabs, test tubes, and an unshakable sense of purpose. That’s the reality for volunteers like Raz Galor, a Y-China host who swapped his mic for medical gear to join Israel’s Magen David Adom emergency services during the pandemic.
After 60 hours of intensive first-aid training, Raz became part of a fearless army of testers battling COVID-19. “Every test brings us closer to beating this virus,” he says. But the job isn’t without risks: handling thousands of potentially infectious samples daily, volunteers work in a tense dance with danger. Yet, Raz emphasizes camaraderie: “We’re all in this together—students, retirees, even teachers. It’s like a real-life Avengers squad, but with more hand sanitizer.”
With hundreds of volunteers across Israel’s testing hubs, their message is clear: collective action saves lives. As one tester puts it, “The more hands on deck, the faster we’ll win this race against time.”
