Soviets let sister help ill brother
by Gil Sedan
JERUSALEM (JTA)—Inessa
Flurova, a Soviet Jewish woman
who has been seeking an exit visa
to Israel since March to enable her
to donate bone marrow to her
leukemia-stricken brother in Israel,
has been reportedly allowed to
leave the Soviet Union.
Her brother, Michael Shirman,
told reporters here last Thursday
that he expects his sister to arrive
in Israel early next month. He said
he expects treatments to take place
immediately therealter.
Flurova, a 37-year-old sociolo
gist, has been holding a hunger
strike for almost a week to pressure
the Soviet authorities to issue an
exit visa for her, her husband and
their two small children.
Shirman, who emigrated with
their mother to Israel in 1980, tias
been undergoing treatment for leu
kemia in Rehovot’s Kaplan Hospi
tal, where his doctors concluded
that he needed a suitable match for
a bone marrow transplant.
His doctors said his mother’s
bone marrow was incompatible
and that there was a 25 percent
chance that the sister’s marrow
would be suitable.
Since Flurova applied for a visa,
her request was supplemented by a
plea from Dr. Robert Gale, the
bone-marrow expert from Califor
nia who assisted in the treatment of
victims of the Chernobyl nuclear
disaster.
In March, Flurova asked for a
travel visa to Israel with her hus
band Victor and their children. But
the authorities claimed a tempor
ary visa would be impossible since
the Soviet Union and Israel have
no diplomatic relations. In June
she was asked by the authorities if
she would consider going to Israel
by herself. She refused. Shirman
said that the entire family of his
sister was allowed to leave for
Israel.
