In an article entitled International Aid to Haiti: Who's Giving, a list was published of the countries donating monetary aid and those helping with the relief efforts.
Iceland and Portugal are each sending more than 30 rescue workers. Taiwan has sent 23 rescue workers and two tons of aid and equipment.
Israel plans to open a field hospital and is sending 220 rescue workers.

After googling the words Israeli delegation Haiti, I found the following post:
Just thought I'd pass on some of the links I've received about what Israel is doing to help the people of Haiti right now. Sadly, they have a lot of experience with rescuing people out of collapsed buildings, cleaning up and finding bodies... Not bad for a supposed racist state.
Not that the Israel-haters will care, but I like the fact that it's not just a team of Israeli doctors going to Haiti... it's an IDF rescue team!
A comment by Daniel included the following words:
Remember them? The IDF is supposedly the occupying brutal army that regularly commits [insert atrocity-of-the-day here] upon helpless Palestinians.
I've said before that there is no fighting force anywhere in the world more ethical than the IDF.
