Israeli NGO NALA Sends Team to Ethiopia to Help Fight the Coronavirus Pandemic

Israeli non-governmental organization NALA: NTD Advocacy, Learning, Action has a sent a team to Ethiopia to combat the COVID-19 pandemic in that African country. Among other things, the Israelis are: spreading messaging about the pandemic; advocating preventive measures to religious and other local leaders; providing needed safety supplies; and training local healthcare workers.
 
Quote: “As COVID-19 burns across the globe, concern is high for its impact on developing countries. In Ethiopia, the health system lacks the capacity and equipment to face the pandemic. Moreover, access to water and soap for hand-washing is severely limited, even in health centers. The lifestyle in Ethiopia is also highly communal and physical distancing is a challenge, as busy markets and churches are the center of community life in many areas.” — NALA Foundation
