In the wake of the devastation in Nepal, MediaCentral is holding a conference call with senior IDF officers from the Israeli humanitarian aid mission to Nepal. Our two speakers will be sharing their experiences with the media for the first time. Journalists will have the chance to ask questions as well.
According to recent media reports, the known death toll in Nepal is 5,000 people and climbing.
Israel has sent medical and paramedical staff as well as a delegation from the IDF Home Front Command, a field hospital and rescue equipment. In addition, stranded Israelis are being evacuated home.
Our conference call speaker is Colonel Dr. Ofer Merin, commander of the IDF field hospital in Nepal.
