A resident of Israel, who lost contact with his son after the tragedy on Mount Meron, came to the Tel Aviv Forensic Science Bureau to find and identify his body. While the man was in the morgue, the son said that he was already at home.
The crush on Mount Meron during the Lag B'Omer holiday caused the deaths of dozens of people. An even larger number of participants in the celebration received various injuries and were urgently hospitalized. In addition, due to the load on mobile networks, communications stopped working, and many of Israelis simply did not know what happened to their loved ones.
Eliyahu Kremer unsuccessfully searched for his son: he phoned all the hospitals where the wounded were taken as a result of the tragedy, but the young man was not on one of the lists. Then Kremer, internally prepared for the worst, went to the forensic examination bureau to find and identify the body of his child.
“I called all the hospitals, hoping he was among the wounded. Hopes dashed when I realized that all the wounded had been identified. I was hoping I didn't find it here – but it's the last place to look. – says the man.
Already at the time when Kremer was in the morgue, his son called him back and said that he was all right and he was at home.
The tragedy on Mount Meron occurred during a religious holiday, which, according to preliminary estimates, attracted at least 100,000 pilgrims. Last year, the holiday was canceled due to quarantine, in the same, against the background of mass vaccination against COVID-19, the authorities allowed it to be held, but recommended to limit the number of participants to 10 thousand people.
As a result of the crush, at least 44 people died, more than 150 people were hospitalized, some of them are in critical condition.
