The Defense Ministry announced Friday that the delegation leaving for Japan will be carrying 80 tons of humanitarian aid including 60 tons of medical supplies which will allow Home Front Command forces to establish a field clinic in the tsunami hit area.
Moreover, the Defense Ministry will be sending 20 tons of equipment to residents left homeless in the disaster – including coats, gloves, blankets and portable toilets valued at millions of shekels. The 747 plane will be leaving for Japan Saturday night together with Air Force planes carrying the medical personnel. (Ronen Medzini and Hanan Greenberg)
