The ongoing state of emergency has led to an entire population suffering from the effects of trauma, including bedwetting, clinging to parents, excessive weeping, night terrors, hypervigilance, insomnia, anxiety, and more. Additionally, children in the region suffer from learning disabilities and ADHD. To ease the stress, Jewish National Fund invests in resilience centers, animal assisted therapy programs, and other learning-based programs to help the communities heal and grow.
