Israel sent Humanitarian Aid to Burkina Faso


Special aid was sent last week by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Joint Distribution Committee (JDC Israel) to Burkina Faso. The West African country is suffering from a severe humanitarian crisis, due to recent floods, and hundreds of thousands of people have become refugees in their own country.

The Foreign Ministry through MASHAV, Israel's Agency for International Cooperation, and in cooperation with JDC Israel (the Jewish Distribution Committee), sent to the stricken country a shipment of tents, blankets, medicines and baby food.
