The FBU welcomed today’s news of the release of their humanitarian aid by the Israeli Authorities.
The lifesaving firefighting kit had been detained at the Israeli Port of Haifa since Oct 14th.
At a meeting in the Scottish Parliament, FBU regional organiser Jim Malone praised the support given by politicians, trade unionists and individual donors.
He said, ‘today’s news is fantastic, we were faced by many challenges in delivering the project, however with the help of the Israeli Histadrut, the PGFTU and the Nablus Municipality Fire Department we have achieved our goal in delivering this vital equipment’.
