A fire engine donated by the Fire Brigades Union in Scotland to the Nablus Municipality in the West Bank has been impounded at the Israeli cargo port in Ashdod. Nablus authorities have been asked to pay a substantial fee of £16,000 to release the vehicle, prompting them to request its return to the United Kingdom to avoid escalating costs. The Fire Brigades Union has expressed concern that ongoing delays and fees could lead to severe financial consequences for the city. The situation highlights the challenges faced in delivering international aid to Palestinian territories.
