Israel’s gas mask distribution centers are
reporting a significant rise in the number of civilians seeking
protection against chemical weapons.
Over the past two days distribution centers gave out 3,700gas
mask kits each day, Maariv reported Wednesday. By comparison, since the
beginning of February 2010 the distribution centers, located in post
offices and malls around the country, distributed kits to about 2,200
people a day.
Despite the surge in interest, sources said there are still plenty of gas masks in stock.
So far the government has given out 4.2
million gas mask kits at distribution centers. However, Haaretz reported
Tuesday that 47 percent of the population is still without kits.
