Quake Stuns New Zealand
One Israeli dead; two remain missing.
A
t least two Israelis are still
missing since a devastat-
ing earthquake struck New
Zealand.
Israel agreed Sunday to send water
purification equipment and tempo-
rary shelters to Christchurch, which
was ravaged by an earthquake on
Feb. 22. The official death toll has
risen to 147, with more than 50 still
missing.
Israeli backpackers Ofer Levy and
Gabi Ingel, both from Rehovot, were
believed to be in Christchurch when
the quake struck.
"There are two missing Israelis in
New Zealand who are feared dead:'
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu said Sunday at the start
of the weekly Cabinet meeting. "We
are working with the New Zealand
government to locate them and pro-
vide New Zealand with aid.
"They have asked for certain
equipment, and the foreign minister
will speak with them today in order
to determine which supplies will be
sent. We want to speed up efforts to
trace the two missing Israelis, and
I shall speak with New Zealand's
prime minister today to achieve this."
Among the dead is Ofer Mizrachi,
23, from Kibbutz Magal near Haifa,
whose body was officially identified
Sunday and is being flown back to
Israel for burial.
He was in a car with three other
Israelis when it was crushed by fall-
ing debris. The three others escaped
and arrived back in Israel on Feb. 24.
As of Feb. 26, there were still nine
Israeli citizens known to have been
traveling in New Zealand at the time
of the earthquake but who have not
been located. Emergency centers
monitoring the situation have been
set up at the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs in Jerusalem and at the Israeli
Embassy in Wellington.
All members of the Canterbury
Hebrew Congregation have been
accounted for, past-president Bettina
Wallace said. The damages to the
synagogue will likely be repaired,
she said. Some members lost their
homes and all their belongings.
A message on the shul's website
reads: "Synagogue closed until fur-
ther notice. All events postponed:'
In addition, the Chabad building,
which housed the city's only kosher
cafe, was destroyed.
Bnei Akiva in New Zealand has
begun an appeal to raise funds for
the beleaguered community.
Meanwhile, the Jewish community
of Queensland, Australia, which was
hit recently by devastating floods,
has offered to house any victims of
the earthquake. El
