In the shadow of the immense pain: the organs of the fallen reservist will save five people

His death saved a life: during these hours, an organ transplant marathon is taking place at the Beilinson, Sheba Hadassah and Schneider hospitals thanks to the donation of the family of the late Major Dor Zimel from the Nahal Auxiliary who was mortally wounded in the evening to Aramsha, and died of his wounds yesterday.

Dor Zimel served as a reserve sergeant in the Nahal auxiliary, and was recruited from the first day of the war. During the reserve last Wednesday, he was mortally wounded by a UAV and anti-tank missile strike in Arab al Aramsha. "For five days the lion fought for his life" said his father. Despite the efforts of the doctors at the Galilee Medical Center (Nahariya) to save him, they finally had to pronounce him dead. His family requested to fulfill his request to donate his organs.

During these hours, heart transplants are performed on a 57-year-old in Belinson, a kidney on a 24-year-old in Sheba, a liver and a kidney on a 68-year-old in Hadassah, a liver lobe on an eight-month-old in Schneider, and another kidney on a 58-year-old in Belinson.

His family said: "Dor was a man of giving, he signed an Edi card. From childhood he was a 'man of the people', and they saw him as a role model and admiration, they loved him back. They saw him as a leader and he was adored by his soldiers in Nahal, the students in Reichman, where he studied Third year of law, in his town of Ibn Yehuda, and anywhere."

Dor was supposed to marry his fiance Shir in about a month and a half, on June 7. He left behind a painful family, his twin sister Lior, his younger brother Tom, and his parents Sharon and Alon.
