Alma (photo) was talking on the phone with a neighbor when she was captured by a terrorist Personal archive One of the hostages released by the terrorist group Hamas on Sunday (26), Israeli Alma Avraham, aged 84, is in a health condition considered serious by doctors. The elderly woman was taken by helicopter from the border to a hospital in the city of Be’er Sheva. A statement released by the medical center on Monday morning (27) states that “she is admitted to the general intensive care unit and her life is still in danger.” The director of the ICU at the hospital where the elderly woman is staying told Israeli TV station i24 that if she had remained in captivity for another day, she might not have survived, adding that the patient is “unstable, sedated and breathing with mechanical ventilation.” The artist Alma Avraham was at her home, in kibbutz Nahal Oz, on the morning of that Saturday, October 7th. She was talking on the phone with a neighbor when an armed terrorist broke into the house. “There’s a terrorist in my house”, she reportedly told the interlocutor before being taken over. One of Alma’s children, Uri Rawitz, even said at that time that her mother had not managed to lock herself in the shelter of the house. She later appeared on a motorbike with armed terrorists. Another of her sons, Ouri Rivitz, spoke to TV station Kan 11 about his mother: “She is a very, very beautiful woman, she has always been like that. Beautiful outside and inside. She has the innocence of someone who founded this country.” Israeli authorities say that Alma’s condition is proof that the terrorists did not provide the hostages with the necessary care. On November 17, an elderly man, Arye Zalmanovich, aged 86, died in captivity in the Gaza Strip. The information was released by Hamas itself.
