It is more important to ensure we send safe food that has been approved for donation to soldiers, in order to avoid sanitary risk and protect their health.
Donate Mothers' Milk
Due to the war situation, there are babies whose mothers are absent and unable to breastfeed them. Mothers' milk units from the National Mothers' Milk Bank are an option to provide these babies with the best possible nutrition for them.
MDA's National Mothers' Milk Bank and the Ministry of Health are joining the war efforts to provide Mothers' milk to babies whose mothers are absent due to the war situation (either recruited, wounded, abducted or killed).
