About three weeks ago, 31-year-old Igor Leib was seriously wounded in the chest during a terrorist attack in a Moscow subway station. On Sunday afternoon, Sept. 19th, he arrived at Hadassah-Ein Kerem for further medical treatment accompanied by his mother, who was also wounded in the attack, and his father. Leib and his mother Zoya, were examined thoroughly in the trauma unit before they were admitted to the department of surgery.
Prof. Shmuel Shapira, Hadassah Deputy Director General, commended the medical treatment Leib received in Russia. “We were happy to respond to the request of Moscow’s Jewish community and welcome the opportunity to help,” he said, “and we are more than willing do the same for the children and adults who were injured during the terror attack on the school in Ossetia, if they wish to come here".
