100 air conditioners donated to northern residents
By HAVIV RETTIG
One hundred mobile air conditioning units were donated to northern residents who have been living in sweltering bomb shelters for over a week.
The units were donated by Canadian Jewish billionaire Gerry Schwartz and the Heseg Fund for lone soldiers. They will be distributed to northern residents by soldiers being supported by the fund.
The Canadian Jewish community has said it would expand the operation.
