Israel advises citizens to leave Nepal
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIsrael is advising its nationals to leave earthquake-hit Nepal, the Foreign Ministry says, fearing disease and violence after desperate Nepalis clashed with riot police over supplies and aid.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Emmanuel Nahshon tells AFP the warning came after helicopters sent to evacuate Israeli citizens were mobbed and attacked by Nepalis trying to get on board.
“We’re advising our citizens to leave Nepal, for both health and security reasons,” he says, but adds the warning was being diffused by Israeli media, rather than through official channels.
