MANILA— The Embassy of Israel this week sent food packs, hygiene kits, and water purifiers to the victims of Typhoon Odette in Bohol and Cebu, vowing to also extend aid to other areas affected by the storm.
Israel's Deputy Chief of Mission Nir Balzam, meanwhile, went to Bohol to donate a unit of Israel-developed portable water purifier, 4 solar energy systems, and hygiene kits, among other things. The envoy said the solar panels would help people affected by Odette, which shut communication and power lines in many areas of Visayas and Mindanao.
