00:12Hello and welcome to this special broadcast from the ground zero of an ongoing conflict
00:17in West Asia. I am Pranayam Bhai Bhai and I have been covering this conflict from Israel
00:22for past 20 days. In next 30 minutes we are going to tell you the stark reality of modern day
00:28conflict where bunkers have become part of life. These concrete walls and iron dome above have saved
00:36many lives in Israel and they have become part of life in Israel. Many people lived there. People
00:43bonded in these shelters. People taught their children in these these shelters and these bunkers
00:50have become new normal for Israel.
01:09In Israel, it is about 8 o'clock in the evening and in this time people are going to die
01:14out of the
01:15house. But now there is an alarm. All these things are happening in such a time when the
01:20In 5 days, we are talking about diplomatic solutions for 5 days and people are going to go to the
01:27shelter in the future.
01:29We are going to go to the shelter where everyone is reaching.
01:34This is the alarm.
01:37Everyone says that they reach the shelter.
01:41You can see the people here.
01:44This is the shelter here.
01:46There are some shelter here.
01:49There are some elements from the solentity.
01:53There are some elements from the ground.
01:55There are instructions in the shelter.
01:59There are public shelters and common shelters.
02:02These are where there are shelter.
02:06This is an extended protocol.
02:09These are the common people who have come to work here.
02:15The shelter is coming from the shelter.
02:20People believe that they are coming from the shelter.
02:25This way, and this way, you can get the shelter.
02:29This shelter is coming from the shelter.
02:32And then, on the other level, people are going to access you.
02:38This alert is the same as moving from the command to the mobile camera.
02:43The message is the same as saying that you can go out there.
02:48So then, listen, the siren is ringing.
02:52With the siren with the sound of the siren, this alert is that the missiles can come.
03:00Or from Lebanon, from Iran or from any other side,
03:03the incoming projectiles, this is the warning.
03:07And this alert is coming.
03:16We are in Tel Aviv.
03:18We are in Tel Aviv.
03:19There are many bharatians here.
03:22They are working in different sectors.
03:26And I wanted to know this here.
03:28I wanted to know that there are many things on social media.
03:32There are many things that are happening.
03:32There are some things that are happening here.
03:34They are saying that there are some concerns about the bunkers.
03:39There are many people who are commenting on this.
03:41So, we are asking them.
03:43Let's check a reality.
03:44Is this something that is?
03:46Please tell us.
03:47No, there is nothing here.
03:49What is your name?
03:49My name is Roshan.
03:51I am from Rajasthan.
03:52My house is from Jepore.
03:54So, I am with Jepore.
03:55I will tell you, I am here.
03:56There is no problem here.
03:57The people who are having this love here,
03:59are not in any country.
04:01As we are being brought to the bunkers,
04:03we can ask them to go inside and say,
04:05you are coming to the outside.
04:07You are coming to the outside.
04:08There are no problems here.
04:08I am living here.
04:09For two years, the siren is coming to us.
04:12We are bringing in the back.
04:12We are bringing in the back.
04:13First we are providing safety.
04:14Then we are bringing in the back.
04:16We are bringing in the back.
04:38I love Israel.
04:40You are working abroad. What is happening in that time?
04:43You are traveling different. You are working on different sides.
04:46Our sides are going to keep the first bomb shelter.
04:50After that, the side has approval for you to do it.
04:53If there is no safety, the government will not do it.
04:58This is in any city.
04:59No, no, no.
05:02Always.
05:04Before we start the bomb secretary,
05:08we will start the bomb shelter.
05:11After that, we will start the bomb shelter.
05:14We will start the bomb shelter.
05:15When the bomb shelter is opened,
05:19there is nothing to do with the bomb shelter.
05:24We will start the bomb shelter.
05:25Then we will get the permit to start the bomb shelter.
05:28These people are all from Bhairat.
05:31Some from Rajasthan, from Gujarat, from Maharashtra.
05:50We will start the bomb shelter.
05:54We will start the bomb shelter.
05:57These people will come from the bomb shelter.
06:04They will come from the bomb shelter.
06:06In fact, there is no need to go to the shelter and the Sourakshit is going to go to the
06:10shelter.
06:36Emergency response vehicles and in fact, not only the buses and cars and specialised ambulances, they also have the medical
06:43mopeds or medical motorbikes because based on the medical emergency, they send those kind of vehicles for the medical response.
06:52This is one of the largest lifesaver mechanism Israel is having and this national center emergency response center where I
07:00am currently is the nerve center where the fight for saving every life starts with a phone call or a
07:07message or even an alarm or an alert which is sounded by the home front command and these are the
07:13vehicles.
07:14And let me show you this special intensive care unit. This is a specialised bus turned into an intensive care
07:20unit and as you can see here, this is called Wheels of Hope.
07:25It's a mobile intensive care bus, Megan David Adom and you can see that what exactly is the mechanism with
07:32which these lifesaver buses are sent for the emergency response at any site where the missile hit is reported.
07:39And you can see that this bus reaches to a place and this is also used for shifting the critical
07:46patients from one place to another place and this is how the patients are shifted on this stretcher or this
07:54bed and there is a lift inside and you can see this is how it functions.
07:59The patients are lifted up and there is an entire medical intensive care unit inside this bus and it can,
08:11this one bus can save lives of critically injured critical patients around seven of them and this is how it
08:19functions.
08:20You can see and let me also show you from inside this medical intensive care unit that bed is coming
08:28up through this lift and this entire bus is a mobile intensive care unit and this every terminal this every
08:37bed is equipped with all those life saving devices life saving equipments.
08:42You can see here that the ECG monitors are here that the ECG monitors are here, the oxygen terminals are
08:47also here and you can see that all these beds are equipped and based on the mission profile of any
08:54emergency response, people like him are serving, they are working.
09:00And in fact, every unit, every unit every bed and in fact every unit.
09:03and every unit every bed is equipped with every critically important and critically significant equipment and material to save any
09:12life and let me also show you that not only these beds and these emergency response mechanisms are there but
09:18life saver drugs are also stored for the patient and for the emergency response.
09:22So all these, you know, all these, these injections are stored here, which are required for any kind of emergency
09:31response.
09:31This is how they monitor every call here.
09:35The map of Israel is here.
09:37And this is the central part of Israel.
09:39And in fact, every part of Israel, be it Haifa or be it Eilat or be it Tel Aviv,
09:45every place is almost like one or one and a half hour distance.
09:49And in fact, they are very close to airport as well.
09:52Based on the profile of any medical emergency, there seems to the, to the, to the site.
10:00And as you can see behind me that, you know, on the map, there are active sites, there are active
10:05calls.
10:06And all those red dots on this, this map of Israel, you can see that, you know, these are the,
10:12the medical emergencies.
10:13So whenever there is a medical emergency, you know, there's a red pin pops up on this map.
10:18And the team coordinates that, they send their, their responders to that place.
10:24And in fact, they have the nodal centers as well.
10:26Currently, I am in the national command center.
10:28And in fact, from here, the calls are dispatched to the local nerve centers or local nodal centers.
10:34And from there, they respond.
10:36And in fact, we have been told that three minutes is the minimum, three minutes is the maximum time.
10:41In fact, you know, at times, you know, within a few seconds, like two seconds, three seconds, they respond to
10:46those calls.
10:47And the medical teams are, you know, alerted.
10:50And in fact, they also use artificial intelligence for the, for the sake of coordination, for the sake of profiling.
10:57And in fact, they work in coordination with Israeli defense forces as well.
11:01They work in coordination with home front command.
11:04And in fact, cluster ammunition has, has posed a new challenge, a bigger challenge for Israel.
11:09And MDA has also calibrated its response time based on those, you know, cluster ammunition profiles, their impact radius.
11:17And, and this is how they try and coordinate and respond.
11:23Reep, tell us something about this thing.
11:25And can you show us this command center as well?
11:27Sure.
11:27So this is our national dispatch command center.
11:31And here we oversee all of the operations we have throughout the whole country of Israel.
11:36So we have many different dispatch centers and the national one here as well.
11:40In addition, we also operate the HEMS, our helicopter EMS as well.
11:44And we also coordinate with home front command here as well.
11:47With special technology, AI technology, we can see the different scenes and we can predict missile strikes even before the,
11:56the people leave their safe room.
11:58And while they're still in the safe room, they can already see and understand that there's a missile that hit
12:03and they'll already see magnitude of the teams on scene.
12:05So you'll leave your safe room and we'll already be on scene treating.
12:08Yes.
12:09So that's how fast it is because we have the AI that predicts and understands the trajectory of the missiles.
12:15And then we can understand if there's a missile strike, even before you understand, you call us on the one
12:19-on-one dispatch.
12:20Can you show us?
12:21Sure.
12:21Let's go ahead.
12:22Sure.
12:22In this dispatch here, we have many different features.
12:26We have the National Dispatch here and we also have the First Response Dispatch on the side.
12:32In addition to the First Response Dispatch on my side here, we have also the Regional Dispatch here for Ayalon
12:38and Negev.
12:39So that takes care of all the operations, all the calls being received and everything in between that comes in
12:45through our dispatch here.
12:46Behind you over there in front of me, you can stay on here.
12:49We see the National Dispatch that oversees every single region.
12:54Their response times, their teams, their vehicles, their equipment, everything that happens is all being maintained from over there.
13:01And as I said here, also First Response Dispatch as well.
13:04So all of the First Response vehicles, almost 1,000 vehicles, are all off-shift, at home, at work, on
13:11vacation.
13:12They have a McInda vehicle with them and they'll be sent to different scenes and different locations, even though they're
13:19not even on shift.
13:20And that way we can shorten our response time even to less than four minutes.
13:25How do you manage and have you reduced the emergency response time at the time of this conflict, this war?
13:31Definitely.
13:32So we have to maintain and reduce response times during times of conflict and times of war.
13:37And the way we do that is we have levels of preparedness, right?
13:39So if we have a holiday, which you know is more susceptible for calls, or wartime, which is very susceptible
13:44for calls, we maintain the fleet at different numbers.
13:48So day-to-day can be 20%, and now we're at 100%.
13:51That means all 3,000, almost 3,000 vehicles of McInda Vida Dome need to be manned and ready for
13:56action 24-7.
13:58So that means even me now, I'm at work now.
14:00When I finish my shift today, I'll go home in a vehicle that's McInda Vida Dome.
14:04It's a first response vehicle.
14:05And even if something happens, let's say a missile strike happens next to my house, I'll be ready to answer
14:09and get on scene as fast as possible.
14:11And that way we can reduce our response times to three minutes for a first response vehicle or ambulance.
14:17And within seven minutes, we have the shift ambulance, the one that's going to be transporting the patient.
14:21Just because I have an ambulance doesn't mean I'm going to transport the patient, right?
14:24I'm at home, I'm sleeping, I'm on shift, I won't transport.
14:28Maybe I will, but I don't have to.
14:30And then the ambulance is coming that will transport the patient from the shift.
14:33Based on the profile of that medical emergency, the teams are dispatched.
14:38And we have seen on ground as well that after the missile impact, we have seen that how these are,
14:43they are the first responder.
14:44They are the one who reach first.
14:46They are the one whose volunteers extricate people from those impact site.
14:51And in fact, the ambulances are the first one to reach at that spot.
14:55And also, they work in tandem coordination with the IDF, Israeli Defense Forces, as well as the Homefront Command.
15:02And this is the place where the things are monitored and they also monitor the new sites.
15:10So, thank you for listening.
