How devistating can it be when a country is willing to let it's people die in order to play politics. These are human beings that need help. A country is offering help. That help is being rejected.
Sri Lanka Rejects Israeli Aid Personnel Despite diplomatic efforts to send a sizable medical team to Sri Lanka to establish a field hospital to aid victims of Sunday's earthquake and the resulting aftershocks and tsunamis, Sri Lankan officials have rejected the Israeli aid and the end result will be a humanitarian aid flight leaving Israel tonight carrying medications and other required supplies, but no rescue personnel. Even though Israel and Sri Lanka do not maintain diplomatic ties, following the enormous tragedy that impacted the area, Israel began making preparations to dispatch military and civilian personnel to the area. Despite the staggering death toll and large number of missing and injured, Sri Lankan officials are not willing to permit an Israeli delegation to land. http://arutzsheva.com/news.php3?id=74312 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Special thanks to the CF Community Suite Silver Sponsor - New Atlanta http://www.newatlanta.com Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:141025 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
