Hostile action casualties and their families are entitled to allowances and various benefits designed to assist and support them in their recovery.
Immediately after the event, rehabilitation workers (social workers with a special training) will contact the victims and their families, and will remain available to them for advise and guidance for any problem: emotional, social and familial, and for taking-up their rights. For a newsletter on the matter, click here (in Hebrew). For a newsletter about recognition and receiving an allowance, click here (in Hebrew).

To relieve you in this period, we have launched for your an immediate assistance hotline at 02-6269999, and have gathered on this website information about the first rights to which you are entitled.
