Dozens of members of the family of Aisha Abadi, 55, from the village of Jadeida-Makr who was murdered today (Sunday), raged tonight at the Galilee Medical Center in Nahariya upon receiving the sad news of her death, claiming that the authorities were guilty of murder because they ignored her husband's mental condition. .
The family members, who arrived at the hospital following the storage of the murdered woman's body, were asked by the security guards to calm down and even tried to prevent them from continuing the riot.
But after the medical staff members were attacked, the security guards were forced to use tear gas to keep the rioters away until the police forces arrived from the nearby Nahariya station.
Violence in hospitals: a brawl at Galil Medical Center
"Aisha treated him with devotion even when he was treated in the closed ward because of the mental illness he suffers from, and she always cared for his well-being," the murdered woman's cousin told Israel Today.
"As long as he took the pills and continued in the medical treatment he was calm, but when he stopped taking the pills he was furious and violent. We warned about it several times and also talked to his family, to talk to him or hospitalize him, because we were afraid that would happen. "And here it happened. The writing was on the wall and all the warning lights were on. But when it comes to the evenings, they ignore it. It would not have happened to a Jewish woman."
Gal Zeid, a spokesman for the medical center, said that "Tonight, dozens of residents from Jadeida-Makr arrived at the Galilee Medical Center in Nahariya, who tried to enter by force. "To prevent them from entering. Two security guards from the medical center were lightly injured and needed treatment in the emergency room."
The director of the medical center, Prof. Masad Barhum: "This is an unbearable situation. It is impossible to remain silent in the face of severe cases of violence that occur every morning in various hospitals. "This case could have ended much worse."
