MK Avigdor Liberman and his Yisrael Beytenu party visit an emotional trauma center in Ashkelon, for which the government earmarked NIS 9 million in the last budget.
The trauma center, which usually focuses on animals but converts to mental health care during emergencies, is across the street from the latest home to suffer a direct hit in Ashkelon. Yesterday, a rocket fell in septuagenarian Miryam Keren’s front yard, destroying part of her home and tossing her car across the street.
“If they know how to find the money for coalition concerns, for [UTJ MK Moshe] Gafni, then they should be able” to fund adequate shelter in Ashkelon, said party MK Oded Forer.
A quarter of the city’s residents don’t have protection from the frequent rocket barrages from Gaza.
