On August 3, Israeli media reported that a Philipino caregiver in Israel left an elderly woman tied to a fence in the summer heat while she went shoe shopping. The elderly woman was discovered by a passerby who took a picture of the scene in an attempt to reach the victim's family. The caregiver eventually emerged from the store and apologized, but the incident has raised the question in Israel over whether foreign caregivers are fit to care for elderly Israelis.
