The Levi family had to board a flight to Zurich to perform euthanasia for Uri, the father of the family, who has long suffered from an incurable illness.
This week when they heard that the sky was closing, they realized that they would not be able to board the flight this morning (Tuesday), after submitting an application to the Exceptions Committee of the Ministry of Health they were refused.
Anat Davidov spoke on 103fm with Efrat, Uri's daughter: "It is a process that getting approval is a serious procedure that takes time, medical opinions, there are many conditions that must be met. The approval comes from an organization based in Switzerland where the procedure is performed, and they require farms "Medical opinion, and it requires that the person who wants to do the operation be clear, so that he can say that he chooses to do it. And also emotional maturity for the matter," Efrat said about the process.
"We applied to the Exceptions Committee to approve the trip for humanitarian reasons, we were ready to leave the country, we did everything we could, we were all vaccinated the second time, we did not talk about returning. We wanted to go out and respect his will. "To do daily activities, he depends on a foreign worker in all the daily activities. A person who was very active and athletic and worked in senior positions has reached a point where his quality of life is low to non-existent."
The Ministry of Health did not respond to 103fm's request for a response.
