IDF opens field hospital
Nepalese Prime Minister Sushil Koirala and the Nepalese chief of staff visit Israel’s emergency field hospital outside the capital of Kathmandu, which commenced its activities this morning.
The IDF humanitarian aid mission arrived in Nepal yesterday, three days after a 7.8-magnitude quake flattened large parts of the Himalayan country and killed over 5,000 people.
Koirala thanks Israeli Ambassador Yaron Meir for Israel’s help, Israel Radio reports.
The hospital has already treated dozens of people injured in the quake.
