In Haifa, 20 bodies of minors who died in 2021 were found • In Israel as a whole - 171 cases!
A chilling statistic: in 2021, 171 people were found lifeless in Israel, dead and dead, and found in a state of decay after days or weeks.
We have repeatedly reported in Hai Fe during the year 2021, about bodies in a state of decay found in apartments in Haifa, of dead people who passed away without anyone being by their side in their last moments. No one held their hand when they left the world, no one heard their last words and was there to look into their eyes for the last time and say a kind word to them, or stroke their head in a gesture of humanity. The thought of it is heartbreaking.
What a life they had…
The thought of the lives these people lived, at least at the end of their lives, is unrelenting. If no one looked for them for a long time, and their neighbors noticed their death only when a pungent smell rose from their apartment, how lonely they must have been... Again and again suggestions were made and there was talk about ways to deal with this painful situation, about actions we must take as a society so that such situations do not return, but the fact is that in 2021 there were 20 cases in Haifa alone such, and in Israel as a whole 171 cases. These are horrific and chilling figures and I wish 2022 would be different for these people and for us as a society. It is in the hands of all of us.
days and weeks after their death
The year 2021 is coming to an end, and the ZAKA once again publishes a horrifying picture, when dozens of lonely, orphaned and homeless people were found during the year lying in their homes, days and even weeks after their death.
Most of them were found only after a pungent smell spread from the apartment to the building or to the street and harassed the neighbors. Another part was found by family members or friends who only remembered after days or weeks to check on their condition.

Horrifying scenes
ZKA volunteers who come to the apartments to deal with the deaths, describe the harsh sights, the terrible smell, and the horrible feeling of finding a human being in the lowest possible state, of losing a human image. It is impossible to describe in words how much strength of mind a ZKA volunteer needs when he arrives at such an arena and takes care of it.
Zaka spokesman Moti Bukcin:
The heart hurts to see and hear the data. The change starts in our hands, from today, the beginning of 2022, each and every one who has a neighbor who lives in isolation, please keep in touch with them at least once a day and together we will save a life.
Let's all make sure that 2022 will be different!
Is it a case that there were many cases in Haifa? No. It is the disconnection between the welfare state and the unruly resident that dictated the result. And where were the neighbors? In the world we live in, no one cares. In your house there is a rebel, talk to him sometimes, ask him if he needs help. You did a good and humane deed.
This is how the municipality invests millions in the non-profit association market and not the weaker sections in the area who are pursued by entrepreneurs from Tel Aviv and the Haifa municipality
The past year was a bad year for the urban residents of Haifa. A bad year for the city of Haifa. Shame on the residents who didn't think to keep an eye and pay attention to the well-being of their lonely and sick neighbors. It is a shame for the local authority, the governmental establishment and the community organization that they failed to organize and regularly care for the weak, the lonely people who were often not able to buy medicine, go to necessary medical treatments or get proper food and just humane treatment to alleviate their loneliness.
It's very sad!
And in the 27th, all the volunteers who act in acts of kindness for the benefit of those in need deserve appreciation. Yes, they will multiply!
shocking
A poverty certificate for all of us in general, for welfare and the mayor in particular.
It hurts to see such cases. Shabbat Shalom.
