Two recipients of organs transplanted from Alisa Flatow, the 20-year-old American student killed in Sunday’s suicide bombing, died Wednesday.

At Sheba Hospital in Tel Hashomer, 65-year-old Moshe Yamin died after a lung transplant.

At Ichilov Hospital in Tel Aviv, 42-year-old Sarin Shmilovitz, who received a kidney and pancreas, died of a heart attack.

The conditions of the four other organ recipients were reported to be improving.

More than 2,000 people attended Flatow’s funeral in West Orange, N.J., on Wednesday. Her coffin was draped in both Israeli and American flags.
