In the course of their extensive work, ZAKA volunteers became aware of the lack of wheelchairs in hospitals and geriatric institutions. Taking up the cause, ZAKA quickly established a free loan system (Gemach) with hundreds of wheelchairs in hospitals, geriatric institutions and other locations throughout the country to assist those in need.

ZAKA also operates a free loan system for emergency first aid supplies for groups of hikers, thereby reducing the response time for a medical emergency.

The free medical equipment loan service is available via the 24 hour ZAKA hotline (dial 1221 from any telephone or mobile phone within Israel).
