      Eilat Cleaning Up Oil Spill


      Dozens of workers in Eilat are working to clean up a major oil spill at the Princess Beach in the city. The beach is closed as the workers attempt to clean up what the Environment Ministry called the worst pollution in Eilat in over 20 years. Officials said that the source of the spill was not clear, but that the Eilat coral reserve was not threatened. The cleanup should be finished within two days, the officials said.
