Family of Fallen Soldier Donates His Organs
(Jerusalem Post) Dr. Itay Gal - Sgt. Omer Ginzburg, 19, was killed in battle while fighting in Gaza, the IDF announced on Monday. His parents decided to donate his organs for transplant. His corneas will be used for those who have lost their sight. His heart valves will be used. His skin will be used to treat burns, and bone grafts will be used to repair orthopedic injuries, including limb reconstruction. His parents said, "He was loved by his friends and family and always thought of others before thinking of himself. He was the friend you knew would always be there for you when needed." His girlfriend, Mika Tal, told Walla that at the beginning of the war, when Ginzburg would be on leave, he would go to the Gaza border area to aid in the rehabilitation of the Israeli communities.
