The Foreign Ministry says 13 Israelis have been wounded in a traffic accident in Laos.
The ministry says the crash occurred last night and its embassy in Vietnam has been working “around the clock” to transfer Israeli patients to Thailand for treatment.
According to local media, a bus carrying around 40 foreign nationals crashed between Vientiane and Pakse after veering off the road and hitting a tree.
