Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar announced today (Sunday) in a conversation with North Macedonian Foreign Minister Timčo Mucunski that Israel will send a team of specialized doctors to provide medical assistance following the tragic fire in the country.
During their discussion, Sa’ar expressed his condolences for the disaster, which claimed the lives of more than 50 people and left dozens injured. The Israeli medical delegation, composed of trauma and burn specialists, is expected to depart soon to treat victims and support the local healthcare system in coping with the aftermath of the catastrophe.
“Israel Stands with North Macedonia in Its Difficult Moments”
“Israel stands with North Macedonia in its difficult moments and is ready to offer any necessary aid,” said Foreign Minister Sa’ar. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is coordinating with North Macedonian officials to finalize the logistical arrangements for the arrival of the delegation as soon as possible.
As a reminder, during the past night, more than 50 people perished and dozens were injured in a fire that broke out at a nightclub in the city of Bitola. The flames spread rapidly from the ceiling, preventing many from escaping in time.
