The Foreign Ministry says two Israeli doctors are being flown to Bucharest after a group of Israeli tourists were injured in a bush crash there.
Twenty-three Israeli tourists were hurt when their minibus crashed on a visit to a Romanian salt mine, local authorities said.
None suffered serious injury, but passengers were taken to hospital as a precaution, emergency services spokesman Florin Chivu says, after the crash near the Unirea mine at Slanic Prahova in southern Romania.
Israel’s Foreign Ministry says all 23 are being kept overnight at local hospitals.
Chivu says 25 people were on board in total, including eight children, when the vehicle overturned.
Police are investigating the cause of the accident on a highway leading to one of the regions’ key tourist sites.
