Lotem Sasson, the sister of Tsala Gaz, who was murdered on her way to the delivery room in the shooting attack near the settlement of Baruchin in Samaria last week, spoke this morning (Sunday) in a voice choked with tears, in an interview with the Neubach Foundation on Channel 2 - about the great pain and loss.

Sasson, who recalled that fateful evening when the attack took place: "Tsela spoke to me at 8:00 PM. The doctor recommended that she come to the hospital and give birth right away because she had a difficult pregnancy, but she said that she preferred a natural birth and that a few more days of pain would not change anything.".
Shortly after, Tsala decided to head towards the delivery room. "I don't know what changed in those two hours," Sasson said, "but something must have changed.".
The condition of Tsala's baby, who was born by emergency caesarean section at the hospital, is still described as serious but stable, and on Friday there was a slight improvement in his condition. "He was without oxygen for a long time, about 50 minutes, from the moment Tsala was murdered until he was born. Some of his breathing tubes have already been removed, but he is still sedated. I really hope to hear better news today.".
Sasson said painfully: "Tsala has four children who will grow up without a mother, who was so amazing. I constantly tried to learn from her how to be a mother. No one can take her place.".
She spoke about her sister, who dedicated her life to caring for others: "She was all light, there are no other people like her in the world. No matter how much suffering and pain she had, she was always busy helping other people. I asked her why she worked so hard, and she said it was because there were people who needed her, so she took care of whoever she could. She tore herself apart just to help as many people as possible.".
""After October 7, Tsala went wherever she could to help people, even if it wasn't within her profession. I know she helped a lot of Nuba survivors and anxiety sufferers, she did everything she could do.".
