ISRAELI CHILDREN SUFFERING PTSD FROM ROCKET ATTACKS

Sderot Kids Exhibit Post-Traumatic Stress

(BACKSPIN)

Sderot_shelter_3Study finds a lot of Sderot children have symptoms of post-traumatic stress. Dalia Yosef, the director of Sderot's Hosen trauma center, told Haaretz:

"It's a serious question - how do you treat and prevent post-traumatic stress when it is not 'post,'" she said.

The study, by the Israel Center for Victims of Terror and War (Natal), will be released to the public in the coming days.

Sderot's on high alert for further escalation.
