עיתון ותיקני מאשים את ישראל באי שליחת סיוע למדינות המזרח
Vatican paper falsely blames Israel for denying aid
By israelinsider staff December 29, 2004
Calling for "a radical and dramatic change of perspective" among people "too often preoccupied with making war," L'Osservatore Romano criticized Israeli military leaders for, it said, declining a request for emergency medical help. The Vatican paper observed that in what "should be a time for unconditional solidarity," some world leaders seem incapable of escaping a "small-minded approach that restricts their horizons."
However, contrary to the Vatican report, an Israeli plane carrying 80 tons of food and medical supplies worth $100,000 departed for Sri Lanka Wednesday morning. A similarly equipped mission went to Thailand. Israeli acceded to the requests of the Sri Lankan and Thai governments to send supplies as well as rescue personnel.
After a larger military group was rejected, the Sri Lankan president's military secretary sent a notice to Israel's foreign and defense ministries Tuesday expressing support for the arrival of a 50-member Israeli delegation.
"We are not opposed to a plane loaded with medical supplies, food and blankets that will be accompanied by a medical team comprised of 50 IDF people, as the Israeli Foreign Ministry requested in a letter," the military secretary said in the notice.
Israel is sending to Sri Lanka 10,000 blankets contributed by the IDF, tents, nylon sheeting and water containers. The IDF Home Front Command is organizing aid preparations.
In addition, the Israeli humanitarian organization Latet ("To Give") sent a separate aid package Tuesday, filling a jumbo jet with 18 tons of supplies worth $50,000, at Sri Lanka's request. The group is also considering sending additional aid shortly, Haaretz reported.
