Maria Reslas
19/08/2003
Maria Reslas, 39, of the Philippines. Maria Antonia Reslas came to Israel from the Philippines to care for an elderly woman after she was left a widow more than four years ago. She left her son, today 16, behind. After working as a caregiver for a time, she switched to house cleaning, and would work in three or four homes in Jerusalem each week. As an illegal foreign worker, she constantly sought a legal job that would allow her to remain in Israel. She had gone to the capital's Old City to visit a friend and was traveling to the Shmuel Hanavi area to work at another job when she was slain. Maria Reslas's body was flown home to the Philippines for burial. She is survived by her son.
