A 90-year-old Holocaust survivor was found dead without life in her home in Sderot. Her body was discovered last Saturday (around 9pm), at which time a report was received at the ZAKA hotline about a woman found dead without life on Nitzan Street in the city.

"Apparently, she slipped and fell into her house and lay alone when no one heard her cries," ZAK commander Sderot Avihai Amosi said. The firefighters broke into the apartment and found it breathless. Zakka Sderot volunteers treated the dead with respect. The deceased's body was transferred to the Abu Kabir Institute for further examination and identification. "

The incident joins a difficult case west of Holocaust Day, so Magda Greif, 87, was found in her apartment in Be'er Sheva after she apparently passed away on the last Passover evening. Grieve, a doctor and a university lecturer, lived without family and friends, and no one called to check on her safety.

A ZAKA man who was in the apartment caring for Greif's body found a letter next to her, a kind of will that hung on the wall, in which she wrote, among other things: "I have no family in Israel and abroad. Greif signed the letter with one request: "Save the birds in the cages."

Further to a will letter, Greif added the details of her estate manager and the hospital fund branch where she was treated, finally stating the name of the rabbi who requested that he bury her.
