An El Al flight attendant who died four months after contracting measles is named by Hebrew media as Rotem Amitai.
Amitai, 43, was a mother of three.

רותם אמיתי היא הדיילת שמתה מחצבת לאחר שנדבקה במחלה לפני חצי שנה. היא הותירה אחריה שלושה ילדים. ממשפחתה נמסר: "רותם הייתה אישה נפלאה ואימא מסורה. אנחנו מתאבלים וכואבים את לכתה בטרם עת" @hen_zender
