AMBULANCE FOR PALESTINE PROJECT

Veterans for Peace Chapter 22 is pleased to announce plans for a new project
that involves sending an ambulance to the Palestinian people in the West
Bank. See Photo below or attachment.

The Veterans for Peace members have purchased an 1994 Ford Turbo Diesel
Ambulance from a local businessman with the intention to ship this vehicle
overseas through the port of Ashdod, Israel. This ambulance will then be
trucked through Israel, to the West Bank in the occupied territory in
Palestine. There it will be presented as a gift to the Union of
Palestinian Medical Relief Committees headquartered in Ramallah. More
information about the work of the UPMRC can be found at their website,
http://www.upmrc.org or by contacting their representative in the US, Amineh
Ayyad, at amina@.... www.fupmrc.org

Before shipment overseas, the vehicle will be used as an educational and
fund-raising tool to increase public awareness and understanding of the
issues facing the Palestinian people. The Veterans will speak and show
slides at events from Seattle to San Diego in a campaign to draw attention
to the need for ambulances to replace those damaged by the Israeli military.
Many ambulances have been shot up, burned, or otherwise damaged or destroyed
deliberately by the IDF. Some drivers and rescue crews have been killed or
wounded in the line of duty.

Veterans for Peace calls upon all peace loving persons and organizations to
help us in this campaign to send this first ambulance to Palestine.
Donations are needed for expenses for travel, insurance, registration, sales
tax, printing, postage and shipping. Persons wishing to help may mail your
donation to Veterans for Peace, Ambulance Project, P O Box 69, Garberville,
CA 95542. Your contribution is tax deductible.
