International transport federation donates $5K to families of Aqaba gas leak victims
AQABA: The International Transport Workers’ Federation Arab World has donated $5,000 to the families of each of the 13 victims of the Aqaba chlorine gas incident, according to the Jordanian Press Agency.
The 13 died in June when a tank of liquified chlorine gas ignited after a cable snapped as it was being loaded by a crane. At least 300 others were injured.
