YNET NEWS: Meanwhile Swedish official says low concentration of radioactive particles to reach US soon
The Foreign Ministry issued a travel warning on Thursday for Israelis traveling in Japan, recommending that they leave the quake-stricken country immediately due to possible radiation leaks.
Meanwhile, a Swedish official says low concentrations of radioactive particles are heading eastwards from Japan's disaster-hit nuclear power plant and are set to reach North America in days.
"Israelis are advised to leave Tokyo towards the south and even to consider departing from the country entirely," the Foreign Ministry stated. Citizens were also advised to refrain from traveling to Japan "until the situation becomes clear".
The embassy in Tokyo remains open, however, and Israelis who remain in the country are being advised to stay in touch with it. » | Ronen Medzini | Thursday, March 17, 2011
