Israel to airlift 25 babies home
Print Edition
ISRAEL said yesterday that it was planning to airlift 25 infants from quake-hit Nepal born to surrogate mothers, along with their Israeli parents, most of them homosexual couples.
Officials said that Israel was sending a military delegation to offer aid and help repatriate its citizens.
Foreign ministry officials said there were 600-700 Israelis in Nepal, as well as the 25 babies recently born in the capital of Kathmandu — four of them prematurely — to surrogate mothers from India.
Nepal has become a destination for couples seeking to have children through surrogate mothers, though the practice is controversial, with critics saying it exploits the poverty of women.
Priority for repatriation would be given to the infants and their Israeli families, interior ministry spokeswoman Sabine Hadad said.
Foreign ministry spokesman Paul Hirschson said officials were doing “everything to bring the babies to Israel.”
