Honduras requested help from the HFC’s aid delegation for its knowledge of dealing with emergency situations.
Directed by the Minister of Defense, MK Benny Gantz, and Minister of Foreign Affairs, MK Gabi Ashkenazi, the delegation arrived in Honduras on Wednesday. As part of the assistance, the delegation is using advanced Israeli technology. The aid delegation is examining disaster areas and its activities are concentrated in the cities which suffered the most damage.
The delegation is providing emergency response to the affected areas, working together with local volunteers, while following the regulations put in place to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
The Commanding Officer of the National Rescue Unit, Col. (res.) Golan Vach: "The members of the delegation are reservists, experts in their fields with experience from similar situations that they have dealt with around the world over the past few years. Therefore, they perform their activities while equipped with technological gear in order to give their best response in their aid mission. The State of Israel and the Home Front Command will continue to assist in the aftermath of any disaster around the world that requires its experience and capabilities."
