Capturing the MidEast in short soundbites: poignant reflections by people who understand the complexities of the Middle East. My philosophy is: "less is more." You won't agree with everything that's here, but I'm confident you will find it interesting! Excepting the titles, my own comments are minimal. Instead I rely on news sources to string together what I hope is an interesting, politically challenging, non-partisan, non-ideological narrative.

Israel's Humanitarian Efforts Continue in Africa
Israel Upgrades Kenya's Medical Abilities -Ryan Jones
Israel provided a major boost to the Kenyan medical system when a team of Israeli aid workers built the first full emergency room in Kisumu, the country's third largest city.
A team of 10 Israeli engineers built the state-of-the-art facility and equipped it with the best medical equipment, all free of charge, in a project undertaken by MASHAV, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Agency for International Development Cooperation.
[T]he Israeli Foreign Ministry announced that it will use the new facility as a base from which to train local Kenyans in emergency medicine.
MASHAV also intends to repeat the Kenyan project in Uganda and Tanzania in the coming years.
