Fight PTSD in Israel

They're Still Fighting an Invisible War

The war in Israel hasn’t ended—and for many, the real battle has only just begun. While sirens still sound and funerals continue, millions of Israelis are fighting an invisible war that’s tearing families apart from the inside.

She wakes up screaming every night. He can't touch his children without shaking. They're alive, but they're not really living.

For 647 days, Israel has lived under fire. The trauma hasn’t paused for a moment.

A mother in Tel Aviv can’t sleep because every sound reminds her of rockets. A reservist home from Gaza drinks just to stop the flashbacks. A 7-year-old refuses to leave his bedroom because he’s terrified the “bad men” will come back.

This is PTSD in Israel today—and it’s everywhere.

Since October 7, 2023, a mental health crisis has exploded across Israel, impacting soldiers, children, parents, and grandparents alike. The sirens still sound. The funerals haven’t stopped. The trauma is far from over.

Your donation today will provide urgent therapy, financial relief, and lifesaving support to Israelis struggling with PTSD—right now.

A National Mental Health Emergency

The battlefield has followed thousands of Israelis home. It lives in their dreams, their relationships, and their children’s eyes.

3 million Israelis—nearly one-third of the population—are experiencing PTSD-related symptoms.
580,000 are suffering from at least one severe symptom.
Soldiers on their 4th or 5th tours in Gaza are mentally breaking down.
Government support is underfunded, overwhelmed, and collapsing.
The cost of therapy and basic needs is simply too high for most to bear.

Not Just Soldiers: PTSD Is Tearing Through Israeli Families

This war didn’t end at the front lines. It followed millions home.

PTSD is now woven into daily life—not just for soldiers, but for:

🔴 Children – across the country—from the Gaza border to the north—relive October 7 every time a siren sounds. Some were displaced. Others witnessed death firsthand. All of them live with a sense of fear that doesn’t go away.

🔴 Parents
Sleepless, anxious, and emotionally distant—struggling to protect their kids while battling their own trauma.

🔴 Elderly Survivors
Haunted by memories of past wars, now retraumatized by new ones.

🔴 Spouses
Anxious for their loved one to come home safe, in if they do, watch while they mentally unravel, unsure how to help.

Mental health professionals say this crisis is like nothing Israel has faced before—deeper, longer, and touching every generation.
