Israel asks Greece and Croatia for planes to help firefighters

Izrael je molio Grčku i Hrvatsku za avione koji će pomoći vatrogascima



Israel asked Greece and Croatia on Wednesday for planes to help fight forest fires that have raged across the country for the past two days, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said. A lack of rain combined with very dry air and strong easterly winds have spread forest fires throughout central and northern Israel.





Scores of homes have been damaged or destroyed but no deaths or serious injuries have been reported.

Local weather forecasters said the tinder-dry conditions and strong winds appeared set to continue for several days with little chance of rain.



Premijer Netanyahu je rekao da je zamolio Grčku i Hrvatsku  za avione  koji će pomoći u gašenju vatre u šumama širom zemlje posljednjih nekoliko dana.  nedostatak kiše u kombinaciji sa suhim zrakom i jakim istočnim vjetrom je proširilo vatru u šumama srednjeg i sjevernog Izraela. Mnogi su domovi oštećeni ili uništeni ali nije bilo smrtnih slučajeva ili ozbiljnih ozljeda.

Prognoze vremena najavljuju nastavak suhog vremena i jakog vjetra u nekoliko narednih dana , s malim izgledima za kišu.

A statement from Netanyahu's office said that the Greek and Croatian prime ministers, Alexis Tsipras and Andrej Plenkovic, "responded immediately" to his request "and promised to send firefighting aircraft as soon as possible".

In 2010, a major forest fire in northern Israel in similar weather conditions that raged for several days killed 42 people, prompting reform of firefighting services and the establishment of an airborne firefighting squadron.

Police have not yet said whether any of the fires were set deliberately.
