The remains of Israeli citizen Charlotte Niddam, 15, were located and identified following the New Year’s Eve fire at a Swiss ski resort, the rescue and recovery organization ZAKA reported Sunday.
Swiss Jewish sisters Alicia and Diana Gunst, 15 and 14, were identified among the dead earlier on Sunday.
They are the youngest of the confirmed fatalities from the Crans-Montana disaster, which killed at least 47.
The Gunst sisters were from an Italian-Jewish family and lived in the Jewish community of Lausanne, Switzerland.
Whether they were also Israeli citizens had not been determined, KAN News reported.
Niddam had also lived in Britain and France. Until recently, she lived in Bushey, just outside London, and spent time studying at Immanuel College and JFS.
“We urgently ask our school community to come together to support Charlotte Niddam,” the school said in a statement before her death was confirmed. “The families have asked that we all keep them in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.”
“We are all praying for a miracle for Charlotte and the others, and want the families to feel the full strength of the support of the Immanuel College community,” it said.
Niddam was said to have been staying in the Crans-Montana area, where she worked as a babysitter, offering her services through the ski resort’s website.
What happened during the Swiss disaster on New Year's Eve?
The fire broke out at around 1:30 a.m., apparently after sparks from fireworks attached to champagne bottles ignited the wooden ceiling of the bar. The fire spread rapidly and caused panic and congestion at the exits.
A criminal investigation has been opened against the bar’s two managers, the Swiss authorities reported Saturday. They are suspected of causing death by negligence, bodily harm by negligence, and causing a fire by negligence, the police said.
Earlier on Saturday, Swiss police said they had successfully identified four bodies and released them for burial. They were identified as two Swiss women, aged 21 and 16, and two Swiss men, aged 18 and 16.
