A woman in her 60s who was taken to the ER at Ichilov Medical Center suffering from shortness of breath during the recent rocket attacks died this morning.
The Health Ministry says that 456 people have been evacuated to hospitals, of whom 86 are currently either hospitalized or in the ER since the start of Roaring Lion.
One person is in serious condition, but not as a direct result of a missile strike; 19 are moderate, 92 are in good condition, three are suffering from anxiety, and one is undergoing medical evaluation.
The ministry asks those who live near senior citizens to assist them and practice getting to the protected area as early as possible to prevent accidents that may result from falling on the way to the protected areas.
Also, ERAN Emotional First Aid reports a 40% increase in calls since the start of the war, with most of the callers dealing with feelings of anxiety and stress. The organization says that it also provides support in five languages for new immigrants to Israel: English, Russian, French, Spanish, and Amharic.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
