Japanese consul: Israeli aid offer heartwarming
Japanese consul in Israel Mitoshiko Shinomya told Ynet Friday that the Israeli government has offered its assistance. "Israel officially offered its help an hour after the earthquake struck. It is very heart-warming, but at this point we do not know exactly what the extent of the damage is, so it is difficult for us to say what can be done.
"The airport in Tokyo is still closed, so it is too soon to speak of assistance from abroad," he said. (Ronen Medzini)
