Led by Daniel Saban, head of ministry's Latin America department, the delegation will also include members of the IDF Search and Rescue Unit. The IDF Medical Corps plans to set up a field hospital in Haiti.

I was excited to see this item. Wonder how widely it will be reported. I fear not very widely. Thank you for bringing it to my attention.
