An Israeli woman is still missing in Berlin following Monday’s terrorist attack on a Christmas market in the German capital.

Israel’s consular staff in Berlin have scoured the city’s hospitals and mortuaries in an attempt to locate the woman, whose husband is in hospital with serious injuries.

The woman has been identified as Dalia Elyakim, said to be in her 60s.

She was standing with her husband, Rami, before she went missing after a truck was driven into a crowd at the outdoor Christmas market, killing 12 and wounding dozens in a terrorist attack.

The couple’s children flew to Berlin to be with their father and hope together that their mother will be found.

In a statement, Israel's ambassador to Germany Yakov Hadas-Handelsman said he hoped that Dalia was among the wounded victims, most of whom were yet to have been identified at the time.

Rami, who is in a Berlin hospital, was set to undergo a third operation.

According to Rabbi Yehuda Teichtal of the Chabad-Lubavitch community in Berlin, the atmosphere in the city is one of “total shock. ”

“People are trying to come to terms with what happened, take the necessary security precautions and understand that there is a new reality,” he said.

“The primary concern right now is to take care of those who were injured,’’ he added.

Rabbi Teichtal, who visited the Rami Eliayakim in the hospital, said “we are working very hard right now to see if we can find his wife at one of the many hospitals the wounded were taken to.”

Teichtal said the attack was an unprecedented event in Berlin.

“There has never been something this close,” he said. “So it has really thrown people off balance.”

“Of course, we hope this will never happen again,” he continued. “But the situation in the world all over today, not just in Berlin, is concerning. So there is a need for extra alertness.”
