Israel, Iran Work Together in Japan

[sasha031]

Search teams from Israel and Iran have formed an unlikely partnership in the city of Kamashi, in Japan. Both teams are assisting Japan in the search for, and identification of, bodies of tsunami victims.The teams met in Kamashi, a port city in northeastern Japan that was devastated by the recent earthquake and tsunami in the country. At least 600 people were killed, and many more are missing.

When the team of ZAKA members from Israel met their Iranian counterparts, “We exchanged greetings. We decided that we have the same mission, no matter what is happening with our governments,” said ZAKA head Yehudah Meshi-Zahav, who spoke to Arutz Sheva's Hebrew-language news service about the organization's mission in Japan.
The 12 members of the ZAKA crew worked alongside the Iranians, and when the teams set up camp, both flew their flags, putting the Israeli and Iranian national symbols side by side.

Meshi-Zahav described the task. “There's a lot of physical work. We strip the buildings, sometimes we use heavy machinery,” he explained. The team gets reports from Japanese authorities about the missing, then goes from building to building looking for bodies.“We are not talking about rescuing the living, but about locating bodies and giving them a burial, in order to bring some relief to the bereaved families,” he added.
