Amid the ongoing conflict in the Gaza Strip, the Walmart Foundation has demonstrated its commitment to humanitarian efforts by pledging a substantial donation of $1 million to Magen David Adom.
“As you all know, throughout these horrific and inhuman attacks by Hamas, Magen David Adom has played a critical role in providing medical aid to victims. To show support for all persons affected by these tragedies in the region, the Walmart Foundation is committing $1m. in funding to MDA for emergency services to save lives,” a statement read.
“These attacks have directly and tragically impacted us, our friends, and our families,” the statement said. “But Walmart Global Tech Israel is not alone. We are part of a resilient Israeli tech ecosystem that stands strong and proud during these tough times, and we are part of a global Walmart family who share the same values and commitment to our customers, members, and one another. It is these characteristics that strengthen us, even at times of great difficulty.”
The large donation comes in addition to a $1 million the foundation pledged on October 18 to the U.S. Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C.
