Emergency service: Families of dead have yet to be notified

Hours after the deadly stampede at Meron, the families of the deceased have yet to be notified amid a complicated effort to identify the victims, a spokesperson for the Zaka emergency service says, according to Channel 12.

Israelis are being encouraged not to publicize information about the victims on social media until the families receive official word on the fate of their relatives.
