Three student delegations, totaling about 100 students from Givatayim, Petah Tikva, and Ness Ziona, landed today (Tuesday) in Warsaw ahead of a trip to Poland and discovered their luggage remained in Israel. The missing equipment includes a doctor's bag, ceremony supplies for camps, and warm clothing. Parents claim the Ministry of Education is shirking responsibility and speculate the luggage was not loaded due to strikes at Ben Gurion Airport. The Ministry of Education places blame on the Polish airline 'Enter Air' and stated that teams are attending to the students' basic needs, including purchasing clothes and essential equipment. Due to security considerations, there is no possibility to take the students shopping to complete the equipment.
