The entire United Hatzalah family, the volunteers together with the management, are devastated by this tragic and untimely loss. We all share in the pain of the Souisa family.
Yoel z”l was a true friend, a loving father, and husband, and a dedicated volunteer who saved the lives of many other people. He was a symbol of dedication, volunteering, and selflessness. He would give of himself and his time, day and night, in order to help anyone around him.
