Road to Recovery

In 1993, founder Yuval Roth's brother was returning house from reserve duty when he and a fellow soldier were kidnapped and killed by Hamas militants. After receiving a donation from Leonard Cohen, Roth was encouraged to turn his loose collective of volunteers into a non-profit organization. Members of Road to Recovery continue with their operations in the West Bank driving approximately 140 people every day to Israeli hospitals. Operations to and from Gaza have been halted due to the Gaza war. == Logistics ==

Volunteers, some of whom do not speak Arabic, have a variety of political ideologies and come from different parts of the country. Israeli volunteer drivers are not able to cross with their cars into Palestinian Territories and vice versa, so patients are often picked up and dropped off at military checkpoints. == Awards ==

In 2019, the organization received the Victor J. Goldberg Prize for Peace from the Institute of International Education. == References ==
