Bombing victim boy becomes face of Yomtov appeal

articlemain

A four-year-old victim of a suicide bombing in Beersheva is the subject of the Yomtov appeal of One Family UK, which has a £100,000 target.

One Family in Israel provides support for bereaved parents such as Rachel and Yisrael Atash, whose son Aviel died in a bus bombing in 2004. He had been shopping with his mother, who was injured in the blast. While she lay in intensive care, Mr Atash identified their child’s dead body.

One Family UK co-chair Naomi Nevies said the imagery in the appeal was “in many ways shocking. But it was felt that to drive home how losing a child affects a family, we had to make the case in the strongest way possible.”
