Survivors' Morbid Routine: Burying Friends and Updating Death Lists After Hamas Massacre

TL;DR Summary
Survivors of a Hamas massacre in Kibbutz Be'eri, Israel, have been relocated to an upscale resort near the Dead Sea, where they follow a morbid routine of attending multiple funerals a day and updating death lists. The community, which lost over 100 members, is living as refugees in their own country, with their homes destroyed and belongings lost. As tensions escalate between Israel and Hamas, doubts arise about the future of once-thriving communities in the south. The survivors face trauma and mental health challenges, with therapists providing "mental first aid" to prevent post-traumatic stress disorder.
