The Foreign Ministry said that it would send a mobile hospital to Haiti in order to help care for the many injured in Tuesday night's earthquake. The equipment and staff for the hospital will leave Israel Thursday night. A delegation from Israel's Homefront Command has arrived in the Dominican Republic and is on its way to Haiti.
In addition, Zaka said that five of its workers, who had been in Mexico tending to the remains of the Saba family, victims of a helicopter crash earlier this week, were now in Haiti. The Zaka workers accompanied a unit of the Mexican army that had been dispatched to help victims.
