Passengers flying to Bucharest with El Al are asked to take humanitarian packages with them containing medicine and equipment for babies and children.
El Al has agreed that the packages can be stored beneath the seats.
The initiative is a collaboration between the Sasa Setton organization, the Center for Jewish Impact, and El Al. Today’s flight is the first on which passengers are being asked to take the packages with them to Romania where thousands of Ukrainian refugees have fled.
