Mrs. Dora Bloch, a 75-year-old lady with dual British and Israeli citizenship, was one of the hostages of the hijacking of Air France Flight 139. Whilst held at Entebbe's Airport in Uganda, she was taken to Mulago Hospital in Kampala, because she had a piece of food stuck in her throat. Dora Bloch, a widow who lived in Tel Aviv, had been on her way to her youngest son's wedding in New York.
Bloch was killed by the Ugandan Government, as were some of her Ddctors and nurses for apparently trying to intervene, when former Ugandan dictator, Idi Amin learned that the hostages were rescued through a Mission carried out by the Israel Defense Forces during the early hours of July 4, 1976.
In April 1987, Henry Kyemba, Uganda's Attorney General and Minister of Justice at the time, told the Uganda Human Rights Commission that Bloch had been dragged from her hospital bed and murdered by two Army Officers on Idi Amin's orders. Bloch's remains were recovered near a Sugar Plantation 20 miles east of Kampala in 1979, after the Uganda-Tanzania War led to the end of Amin's rule.
The remains of Dora Bloch were taken to her adopted homeland and buried with state honors in Jerusalem's Mount of Quietudes.
