Israel to help build disaster center in Kenya

From Israel to Help Build Disaster Center in Kenya:

“Israeli Ambassador Emmanuel Seri said Wednesday in Mombassa that following a request from the Kenyan government, Israel would help set up a disaster response center in the country.

Kenya has relied on assistance from Israel to manage two disasters: following the U.S. Embassy bombing in Nairobi in 1998, and more recently at Nyamakima in Nairobi following the collapse of a building under construction.

On both occasions, special rescue teams from Israel flew into the country to help in the rescue and recovery operations.
