Mexican Quake Victims
Tel Aviv (JTA) — Civil de-
fense specialists and Israel De-
fense Force engineers went to
Mexico City this week to assist
in ongoing rescue operations fol-
lowing major earthquakes last
Thursday and .Friday which, de-
vastated the heart of the Mexi-
can capital. The death toll in
the quakes has been estimated
at 3,000-10,000. -
Israel's action was in response
to a general appeal for help
from the Mexican government.
Israeli amateur radio operators
meanwhile, established a com-
munication network with
Jewish radio hams in Mexico.
They have volunteered to pass
messages between Mexico and
Israel, transmitting information
and inquiries among concerned
citizens of both countries.
The Israeli rescue teams are
also carrying communications
equipment by which they will
keep in touch with Israel via the
Israel embassies in Mexico City
and the U.S.
The rescue equipment Israeli
specialists took to Mexico in-
cluded sensory devises which
can pinpoint the faintest sounds
coming from beneath rubble;
especially designed inflatable
airbags to be used as jacks to
carefully lift fallen masonry or
steel girders weighing as much -
as 54 tons.
This equipment will enable
rescuers to crawl beneath rubble
to extricate survivors or the
bodies of victims. The Israelis
also brought hydraulic cutting
equipment to slice through steel
and concrete.

cordially invites you to attend its
In New York, the American
Jewish Joint Distribution Com-
mittee (JDC) responded to the
earthquakes by opening its
mailbox to donations for emer-
gency relief and by implement-
ing an assistance program in
behalf of the American Jewish
community.
As with previous relief efforts,
(Cambodia in 1980; Italy in
1981;. Lebanon, in 1982;. and
Ethiopia in 1984), JDC actions
parallel those of Catholic, Pro-
testant and non-sectarian agen-
cies providing humanitarian as-
sistance to disaster victims.
Those wishing to help may
send contributions to Mexico Re-
