Red tape grounds 30 tons of Nepal aid
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on Google30 tons of equipment collected by volunteers and intended to be shipped to Nepal will remain on the tarmac in Israel because of lack of coordination between government ministries, Channel 2 reports.
In an initiative of SID-Israel (the Society for International Development), the equipment was collected by volunteers and includes anything from calorie-rich foods to digging tools and clothes. The organization planned to piggyback on a plane that was heading to Nepal to bring back Israeli medical teams from the country.
But because of a lack of communication and coordination between the Foreign Ministry and Defense Ministry, the plane will take off without the equipment, Channel 2 reported.
