Event #263
On January 24, 2026, Guinness World Records recognized an event in Jerusalem that marked more than 2,000 living kidney donations facilitated by the Israeli nonprofit organization Matnat Chaim, according to multiple news reports. The recognition followed a policy reversal by Guinness World Records, which had previously paused accepting submissions from Israel. The event included a gathering of over 1,000 living kidney donors who had voluntarily donated organs over several years to recipients in need of transplants. Israeli officials and medical representatives attended the ceremony, which highlighted Israel’s high rate of living kidney donations per capita as documented in national health data.
