Withhold not good from him to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thy hand to do it. (Proverbs 3:27)

The Israeli charity organization IsraAID plans to send a team to the Philippines later this week to help treat the thousands of victims affected by destructive Typhoon Haiyan, according to The Times of Israel. The IsraAID organizations is supported by the American Jewish Committee and North American Jewish Communities.

The team will be comprised of medical, trauma and relief professionals. The team will work primarily in Tacloban City in Leyte, according to a statement released by IsraAID Saturday.

Rescuers have thus far estimated a death toll north of 1,000 people. With communications and roads still cut off, Capt. John Andrews, deputy director general of the Civil Aviation Authority, said he had received “reliable information” by radio from his staff that more than 100 bodies were lying in the streets of the city of Tacloban on hardest-hit Leyte Island. It was one of six islands that Typhoon Haiyan slammed into Friday.

Aid from the Jewish State for disaster relief is far from rare. Teams have been dispatched everywhere in the world including America following Hurricane Sandy, Kenya in the recent mall hostage stand-off and even neighboring enemy state Syria, treating victims of their bloody civil war.
