Over the next two days (Sunday and Monday) 18 of those injured in the bus accident in South Korea are expected to arrive in Israel.

In the meantime, 14 injured will remain in the hospitals in Korea for further medical treatment (including 4 defined as being in critical condition).

The Israeli Embassy in Seoul and the Department for Israelis Abroad at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are working so that the coffin of the deceased, the late Margarita Schwartzberg, will be moved to Israel in the coming days.

"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Embassy of Israel in Korea, in coordination with the insurance companies and the relevant authorities in South Korea, continue to accompany the injured in the accident and make sure that they receive the appropriate treatment, so that they can return to Israel as soon as possible," it said.
