Two doctors and a Japanese-speaking IDF liaison officer arrived in Japan Sunday to survey the needs and see what Israel can contribute, Foreign Ministry officials said.
Along with this delegation, Israel – replying to particular Japanese requests – sent 150 portable restrooms, 10,000 winter jackets and 10,000 pairs of gloves. With the sanitation system in Japan in disarray as a result of the earthquake and tsunami, the Japanese government is keen on equipment that will improve the situation.
