Israel Embassy donates relief supplies to wildfire victims
The Embassy of Israel in South Korea has donated relief supplies to support local residents affected by the devastating wildfires in the Yeongnam region, said the Israeli Embassy in Seoul on Friday. The assistance, provided through MASHAV, Israel's official aid agency, aims to help displaced residents in Andong recover from the disaster. Sharing a press statement with The Korea Herald, the embassy said that relief supplies coordinated through the Korean Red Cross will be used for disaster recovery efforts in Andong, a city that shares a sister-city relationship with Holon, Israel. According to the embassy, the partnership has fostered strong cultural ties, with Andong Park established in Holon in 2002 and Holon Park inaugurated in Andong in the same year. The cities formalized their friendship agreement in 2004. 'We extend our heartfelt condolences and deepest sympathy to the victims' families and residents affected by the unprecedented wildfires,' said Israeli Ambassador to Korea Rafael Harpaz. Israel stands in solidarity with the Korean people during this challenging time, said Harpaz. 'We commend the bravery and tireless efforts of the firefighters and emergency responders working to contain the fires and protect lives and property,' added the ambassador.
