A shocking revelation was made by a survivor of the Nova festival in Israel, where Hamas launched its attack on October 7, 2023. According to during a conference on the treatment of survivors of the attack, Guy Ben Simon, as reported by i24news.tv, revealed that 50 of the festival attendees were psychologically traumatized and ended their lives.
«Few know it, but there are about 50 suicides by Nova festival survivors. And that number was two months ago. Now it has probably gone up,” he said characteristically.
The authorities admitted last January that there were incidents, with the Ministry of Health reporting however that there was no increase in suicide deaths > after October 7.
The lives of those who lived through the horror at the Festival 'traumatized'
«Many are hospitalized with psychological problems. I am practically unable to do anything. My dog helps me survive. Our goal is to manage at some point to live normally, to go to our jobs, but without special help we will not succeed,” said Simon.
At the Nova festival more than 360 people were murdered by Hamas terrorists. .
«I don't understand why I have to explain every time what I experienced there. Why do I have to go back to these traumatic details to be believable to somes” said Naama Eitan, who took part in a mental health study after the attack, saying she can't sleep more than two hours a day because of fear.
“Every morning at 7 relive the nightmare moments… When I was hiding in a bush, with terrorists walking past me. I can't handle it alone. I have to have someone with me all the time. I'm afraid” he declared.
'They faked the dead to get away'
Eitan revealed she spent three hours hiding in the bushes while calling the police , but he couldn't see help anywhere.
«When it's quiet around me, there's a buzz in my head and I go back to those moments. If it wasn't for my psychologist, I wouldn't be here today talking,” she added, revealing that she too has suicidal thoughts after the nightmare she lived through.
Nasa, a third survivor, revealed that she is desperately seeking help from psychologists, but the only appointment she has found is in 5 months.
Since October 7th, over 600,000 Israelis have made appointments with psychologists after October 7th, according to an i24 survey.< /p>
«We were in an open field, with no place to hide. We felt helpless. Some in their desperation climbed trees. Most were killed by Hamas bullets. Those who survived were the ones who hid their bodies under corpses and pretended to be dead,” he described, while saying that some members of Hamas used their weapons to abuse women on their genitals, while they cut them with knives pieces of their body.
