Ukrainians: Ukrainians who fled their country for Israel find themselves yet again living with war
Since the war in Israel erupted, Ukrainian refugees in Israel are reliving their trauma as they are reminded of the violence they fled in Ukraine. Many have lost in-person support systems due to gathering restrictions, and some have lost hope of reuniting with loved ones left behind. The war has intensified feelings of isolation, and mental health specialists warn of the risk of depression and anxiety. Refugee organizations are providing assistance, but the constant threat of attacks and the uncertainty of the future weighs heavily on the refugees' minds.
