to instruct tourists to drink plenty of water However in this weather of a murderous 40C plus, it is not just a light tiyul for the unaclimatised ..She probably collapsed initially from the heat, thus falling and banging her head.Did the tour company supervise adequately.Such a young girl hoping for a lovely time in Israel encouraged by family to go and have a great time there.. Sincerest condolences to her friends and family.r I am very moved by this sad story!

really organized and professional! so sad and tragic!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am not a believer in suing - but who in their right mind would think it was a smart idea to take a group of tourists for a walk in the desert during one of Israel's hottest days ever ????

I wish to send my condolences to the family. I have no idea who should take the blame. Walking in the desert is no joke. Please don`t hike in such high temp. We have plenty of cooler days.

The article fails to mention

When I visited Masada, my tour leader wouldn't let us off the bus without ample bottles of water. She made sure that we were thoroughly hydrated! It gets mighty darn hot there!

Is that the only thing you worry about? That the 20 yr old who died was Jewish or not? Pretty sick!

as she was a mentsch like you and me

What is the relevance of your question?Someone has died here and you are obviously going to be more or less concerned depending on whether she was Jewish? You are a disgrace to humanity and an absolute moron.!

And if she was Zulu, does it make a difference? A family is mourning a young girl right now. You idiot!
