Israeli medical delegation in Congo takes heat while trying to soothe burns

Published in Ha'aretz a few days ago.
About 10 days ago Israel sent five medical specialists from Sheba Medical Center for 10 days to treat the wounded. They were the first plastic surgeons to arrive in Congo after the accident, with proper know-how and equipment to treat the victims. Approximately 50 victims were burned when an oil tanker caught fire two weeks ago, killing more than 230 people in avillage near the Democratic Republic of Congo's border with Burundi.
