Os mortos

Porque o sangue tem nome, porque as vítimas têm rosto.


"David Shaulov, 29, of HolonDavid Shaulov, 29, from Holon, immigrated from Tashkent with his family 16 years ago. Shaulov, the eldest son of the family, acclimated well in Israel. He studied to be a dental technician and opened his own laboratory in Holon. Shaulov married Radmilla, and the couple had two children, who are now four and six. Radmilla is pregnant and due to give birth shortly. On Monday morning, Radmilla felt unwell and went to the hospital for a check-up, while David went to his dental lab. He was killed when he went to the Rosh Ha'ir restaurant for lunch.

Shaulov's relatives shuttled among area hospitals searching for him, and eventually ended up at the Institute of Forensic Medicine at Abu Kabir. Against doctors' advice, Radmilla rushed to Abu Kabir and found out her husband was inside, dead. After identifying David's body, the family remained in the facility's yard for some time, weeping, while friends and other relatives continued to arrive. David's grandmother fainted shortly after reaching the site. Radmilla insisted on leaving her hospital bed to be with her family at Abu Kabir. "He was my tower of strength," David's brother Yossi, 17, said Monday. "I don't know what we'll do without him." Shaulov's funeral began at 11 A.M. Tuesday at the Holon Cemetery. The funeral procession left from his parents' home on Ha'etzel Street in Holon. (Asaf Carmel

Philip Balasan, 45 Philip Balasan set out from home Monday morning with his son Uri and daughter Linor to buy CDs and computer games at the old central bus station in Tel Aviv. They were passing by the Rosh Ha'ir shawarma stand when the bomber struck. Philip was badly wounded, but before he collapsed, he managed to pass his cellphone to Uri and said: "Call Mom and tell her there was an attack." The kids were slightly hurt by the blast, were examined at the hospital and released. Etti Balasan rushed to Tel Aviv to search for her wounded husband. Philip's brother-in-law Eli Aflalo said Monday night that Etti looked for Philip at every hospital in the area and when she couldn't find him, Aflalo suggested she go to the Institute of Forensic Medicine at Abu Kabir, where she received the bitter news. Philip is survived by his wife, Etti, 40, and their four children - Liran, 21, Lital, 19, Linor, 13, and Uri, 12.

Victor Erez, 60 Victor Erez was a Tel Aviv taxi driver. "He'd do hotels, not the central bus station," his brother Binyamin said. "But like all the drivers he'd go there to eat shawarma." He had just stepped out of his cab when the bomber exploded. "He went in one piece, without blood on his body," said Binyamin, as though trying to preserve his younger brother's memory. Victor lost a leg 42 years ago to a land mine. He married, divorced, remarried and always drove a cab. "He worked like a mule, six days a week," his brother said, "and really gave his all to his family up to the last minute." Victor is survived by his wife Miri, three children, a step-daughter and three grandchildren

Lily Yunes, 42, of OranitDozens of residents of Oranit, a small community near the seam line border with the West Bank, rushed to the home of the Yunes family when official word came that the mother, Lily, was one of the victims killed in the bombing. It was supposed to be an auspicious day for the family. Lily, her husband Menachem, their sons Lidor, 24, and Tzach, 11, and Lidor's girlfriend, Elodie Zion, 26, went together to Tel Aviv's old central bus station to purchase equipment for a new business the family was about to establish. They decided to stop for a bite on the way, so Menachem dropped the four off near the shawarma stand and stayed in the car. Then came the blast, followed by frantic running between Ichilov, where his sons were hospitalized, and Wolfson, where Elodie was taken. Lily was nowhere to be found. In the evening, Menachem's brother-in-law, Elias Tzemach, went to Abu Kabir and identified the body. Lily, who ran a Na'amat day care center in Matan, is survived by two other children, Assaf and Bat El.
