Survivors of Hamas Attack: Burying Friends, Counting Dead, and Overcoming Trauma

TL;DR Summary
Survivors of the Kibbutz Be'eri massacre in Israel, where over 100 members were killed and 10 kidnapped by Hamas terrorists, are now living in a hotel-turned-refugee camp near the Dead Sea. They follow a morbid routine of attending multiple funerals a day and gathering for nightly meetings to hear updates on the missing and dead. The community feels like refugees in their own country and are unsure if they will return to the kibbutz until Hamas is toppled. The trauma is taking a toll on their mental health, and therapists are providing support to prevent post-traumatic stress disorder.
