"Two years after a massive tsunami ravaged the eastern seaboard of Japan, the people of one of the hardest hit towns, Yanmei-Sanriku, have inaugurated a statue honoring the assistance that Israel provided in their darkest hour.

Titled "Rebirth and Resurrection", the statue was produced by Israeli artist David Susanna, and was installed in front of the municipal offices and temporary Israeli hospitals established in Yanmei-Sanriku.

Immediately after the tsunami hit in 2011, an Israeli medical delegation was dispatched and worked tirelessly to aid the people of the entire Tohoku region. The new sculpture symbolizes Israeli solidarity with the suffering of the Japanese people."

An El Al plane flew to Sri Lanka and Indonesia in Southeast Asia, carrying 85 tons of emergency aid materials donated by Israeli organizations and companies. On the instruction of Foreign Minister Silvan Shalom, Israel Foreign Ministry Director-General Ron Prosor and Deputy Director-General Amos Nadai accompanied the plane.

The plane landed in Colombo, Sri Lanka, on Monday, January 10, where equipment for emergency food kitchens donated by the National Council for Voluntarism, Koach Latet, and the United Kibbutz Movement. The kitchens will provide hot meals for some 4,000 people a day. In addition, these organizations and Magen David Adom contributed medical equipment to set up a mobile clinic."
