Haifa mayor: We are experiencing national disaster

Haifa Mayor Yona Yahav says that the fire burning across his city is a national disaster and calls on any remaining residents of the Carmel area to get out at once.

“A national disaster has reached Haifa,” he tells Army Radio. “We cannot say how many people [are affected] as most of the residents of the Carmel area are at work and not at home. We are asking those who are still at home to evacuate.”
