Many of Sderot's children suffer from trauma-related anxiety stemming from the daily Qassam rocket attacks on the city. As trauma victims they receive psychiatric treatment at a city clinic which operates as a branch of the Barzilai children's psychiatric clinic in Ashkelon.

But the clinic in Sderot is unfortified and is at risk of being shut down after a rocket landed on an adjacent street last Wednesday.

Rocket Problem

The children treated at the clinic suffer from anxiety that manifests itself in fear of being outside the home, sleeping in their parents' bed, leaving the door open when they shower, oversensitivity to any noise, some suffer from bed wetting.

[If this madness war would end, so many of the children would not suffer. It is sad that they suffer in this way.]
