According to the latest news reports, at least 12,000 people have died in a terrible earthquake in China. Urgent, overburdened with the need to help those who managed to survive, China has put out a call for help…except from Israel.

Thank you for educating me on this issue. I am the CIO of YOBI, and would be honored if you would make a post in our United Nations discussion forums. We are hoping to create a truly international discussion of the issues that face our global community, and your post here proves that you would be a valued participant in that discussion.
