Scottish firefighters sourced, refitted and kitted out a fire engine with medical supplies and firefighting gear for their peers in Nablus last year.

The fire engine was sent to the Palestinian territory last summer, and firefighters in Nablus have been waiting to receive it and protective equipment for the last 15 months.

However, despite the fire engine having documented clearance, Israeli officials refused to let it through customs, impounded it at the Port of Ashdod in July 2024, and have now slapped the Nablus governorate with $21,271 in accrued fees.[!]
