Nearly 50 traumatised Israeli revellers have killed themselves since Nova
festival was attacked by Hamas on October 7 with others sectioned due to
psychiatric issues, survivor tells parliament
Guy Ben Shimon spoke at a hearing for a State Audit Commission on the
treatment of survivors, focusing on the alleged failures of Israeli state bodies to
look after the victims of the attack.
'Few people know, but there have been almost 50 suicides among the Nova
survivors,' he claimed. 'This number, which was true two months ago, may have
increased since.'
"Why should I constantly prove what I experienced?' said Na'ama Eitan,
another survivor of the attack. 'Why am I forced to go back to the details of what I experienced for them to believe me?'
She said that she took part in a study to monitor her health but now sleeps
just two hours a night.
'Each morning at seven o'clock, I relive the moments when I was hidden in
the bushes with the terrorists passing by me.
'I can no longer move on my own. I need to be constantly accompanied.'
