Israel has offered to help Yugoslavia’s sufferers from the disastrous earthquake at Skopje, and Yugoslavia has accepted the offer “gratefully,” Mrs. Golda Meir, the Foreign Minister, reported to the Cabinet here today. The first shipments of aid to the victims of the catastrophe left Israel by air tonight, with the full Cabinet’s approval.
Mrs. Meir told the Cabinet she offered to Yugoslavia immediate dispatch of Israeli teams of personnel to help the victims of the earthquake, as well as tents, medical supplies and vitamins. In its acceptance, the Yugoslavian Government asked that the tents and supplies be sent first, waiving temporarily the offer of medical teams and other personnel from Israel.
