(IsraelNN.com) The Magen David Adom (MDA-Red Star of David) emergency service treated 1,786 people during the Yom Kippur holiday. Fifty-seven people fainted during the fast and six had to be resuscitated.
One hundred seventy-six people were treated for injuries associated with bicycles, skateboards or rollerblades. Children take to the streets on Yom Kippur because traffic in Jewish neighborhoods is generally limited by tradition to emergency vehicles.
MDA took 120 expectant mothers to various hospitals and delivered one baby at the mother's home. Soroka Hospital in Be'er Sheva reported 34 births.
