Summary
- Hatzola Northwest ambulances were victims of an arson attack.
- Nearly £2 million was raised in an extraordinary support surge.

An arson attack targeting four Hatzola Northwest ambulances in Golders Green has galvanized an immense outpouring of community generosity. In the wake of the incident, the official Charity Extra appeal for Hatzola Northwest has raised almost £2 million. This surge in donations has significantly surpassed the campaign's original £1.4 million target and a later revised goal of £1.8 million for paramedic training.
Adding to the remarkable response, a separate GoFundMe page, created directly in response to the arson, has also achieved exceptional results. This initiative quickly surpassed its £125,000 goal, gathering £126,310 from 1,612 donors in a matter of hours. The combined fundraising efforts highlight a swift and powerful community solidarity.
