In Nepal, the death of Vered Avishar, a 26-year-old woman from Kibbutz Ein Hanatziv, who was seriously injured in a jeep overturning on the way to the Annapurna Range in Nepal, was confirmed last night (Sunday). Her family was notified. Chabad emissary in Nepal, Rabbi Hezki Lifshitz, who immediately took off by helicopter to the scene of the accident, rescued her from the scene of the serious accident. The Foreign Ministry is handling the transfer of the body to Israel. Avishar's sister paid tribute to her on her Facebook account: "My beloved and beloved of all has left us." Eight other Israelis were slightly injured in the accident, all of whom were hospitalized in a hospital in the capital Kathmandu. The rescue of the injured was carried out with the assistance of a local rescue helicopter that was scrambled to the scene. In another case, a 44-year-old Israeli woman was seriously injured after falling from a horse during a trip to Georgia. In accordance with the decision of a doctor who arrived from Israel, she was flown back to Israel and transferred to Tel Hashomer Hospital for further treatment.
