New unit on the Carmel Woods Fire

I worked especially hard on this to show the wonderful reactions we are receiving from around the world and also the fantastic information that Alex provided will teach many about the beautiful area that was destoyed. I have to tell you this holiday was a sad one for so many and it is felt in the streets in the cities like Tel-Aviv.

The Fire in the Carmel Woods in Haifa

Dear Friends,
I sadly send this out to our friends around the world .A huge fire in the Carmel Mountains in Haifa has taken more than 40 lives. The trees will take 50 years to grow again in this once beautiful area that so many people love. We are saddened and crying at Globaldreamers today.
Mass evacuations as huge blaze threatens Haifa
Over 15,000 residents moved to safety as brushfire sweeps across northern Israel, leaving 40 dead.
These are the horrible headlines during our Chanukah vacation. We wish to thank the many countries around the world who are sending in help at this moment to try put out the deadly flames. We appreciate this beyond words.
Israeli officials said some 100 firefighters from Bulgaria have arrived as well as forces from Jordan and Greece. Fire extinguishing planes were on their way from Britain and Cyprus as well as aid from the United States, Russia, Egypt, Spain, Azerbaijan, Romania and Turkey — which put aside recent tensions to lend a hand.
In times like this we can only say thank you and pray that no more lives will be taken during these horrible days.
We are sad and hope they will be able to put on the inferno soon which is still causing so much fear and damage to Haifa Israel's 3rd largest city.
Sending love,
Marsha Goren
