Magen David Adom
In July 1950, the Knesset (Israel's Parliament) ratified the Magen David Adom Law, which states that Magen David Adom will function as Israel's National Red Cross Society, acting in accordance with the Geneva conventions. Specifically, MDA was given responsibility for:
1) Providing auxiliary service to Israel's Army Medical Corps in wartime, including providing emergency medical care for the wounded and war refugees.
2) Providing civilian emergency transportation and medical and first-aid services and temporary shelter in emergency situations and disasters.
3) Organizing blood donations and maintaining sophisticated blood banks for civilian and military use.
