Moti Bookchin, a spokesman for ZAKA, said: "Unfortunately, we repeatedly encounter difficult cases of people who die alone and are only discovered after many days. This is a painful reality that requires us all to be more vigilant about our immediate environment, whether it's a neighbor, a family member, or a friend who doesn't answer. One knock on the door, once a day, can save a life.""
