Hostages’ families request establishment of rehabilitation center to support them

Reporter at The Times of Israel

Representatives from the Hostages and Missing Families Forum request the establishment of a rehabilitation center to help support the families and the returning hostages at the Knesset’s Health Committee on Tuesday, according to Hebrew media.

The request comes after a new study shows that family members have prolonged traumatic stress, helplessness, and terror that causes mental psychopathology and chronic illnesses.

Despite the family members’ unique situation, their medical treatment is carried out at health fund clinics like all other patients.
