Magen David Adom staff treated about 2,000 people over Yom Kippur, a spokesperson for the organization said. Most were treated for light injuries, including 87 who fainted during the course of the fast, 231 children injured in bicycle-related accidents, and 118 women who gave birth over the course of the holiday – including three who gave birth at home.
