Israel contributed $10,000 today toward a special fund established here by the United Nations for aid to sufferers from a recent severe volcanic eruption in Costa Rica.
The fund was established two weeks ago by the UN in response to appeals for aid to Costa Rican victims filed here by the delegations from Spain and Costa Rica. Michael S. Comay, Israel’s permanent representative here, notified Secretary General U Thant today that his Government is making a $10, 000 contribution to that special fund.
