Yisroel Starick, Chapter Head of United Hatzalah in Uman said: "Many of the emergencies we've dealt with in the past few days have been broken limbs, injuries resulting from falls, and shortness of breath due to the cold weather and the snowfall."
"For any medical emergency in Uman or the surrounding vicinity, it is suggested to call our international dispatch center number at 063-800-1221, which is a local call for anyone in Ukraine. United Hatzalah's dispatch center in Israel will then dispatch local volunteer responders in Uman who are closest in proximity to the emergency.
"We strongly recommend that anyone coming to visit Uman, or any other graves of Tzaddikim in Ukraine, bring warm clothing and outerwear due to the intensely cold weather that the region is experiencing. It is also recommended to take all necessary precautions to avoid slipping on the ice that can result in painful injuries."
