NEW YORK—Leaders of Mogen
David Adorn, Israel's official red
cross service, have announced the
start of construction of the Eman-
uel and Stella Celler Medical Com-
plex, designed to provide emergen-
cy medical service to the 250,000
citizens of Haifa.
Construction has commenced on
the two-story building on one of
Haifa's most prestigious and easily-
accessible sites at the corner of Tel
Aviv and Itzhak Sedah streets.
LONDON (JTA) — A govern-
ment spokesman said that while

them not to supply its vessels
