Israel's Humanitarian Assistance Efforts Around the Globe

On this episode of Persona Grata, we’ll meet the people behind Israel's humanitarian missions which have come to the aid of more than 140 countries and thousands of people since Israel's founding.

From a devastating typhoon in the Philippines, to an earthquake in Haiti which killed over 200,000, to assisting Syrian refugees on the Greek Island of Lesbos, here's how Israel is making sure that no matter, how far, no one is left behind.

On this World Humanitarian Day, we salute the thousands of men and women around the world continue to place themselves in harm's way to create a better and safer world for all.
