Intensified Palestinian Rocket Attacks Reignite Anxiety in Israel
[Jerusalem Post] Ruth Eglash - Renewed Kassam rocket attacks on Sderot and the western Negev has reignited the extreme trauma and stress experienced by area residents, especially children, according to professionals who run the Israel Trauma Coalition's five Resilience Centers. "We have been receiving an increasing number of calls and people coming in for treatment," said David Giron, regional coordinator of the Resilience Centers. "Now the pressure has returned at an even higher magnitude than before," he explained, stressing that the situation reflects a buildup after eight years of attacks. Dalia Yosef, director of the Sderot Resilience Center, said the center currently treats more than 400 children out of some 5,000 in the town.
