After Hamas militants attacked Kibbutz Be’eri on Oct. 7, killing more than 100 of its 1,100 residents, the Israeli government evacuated many survivors to a hotel near the Dead Sea.
Mourners attend the funeral of David Caroll at Kibbutz Revivim, southern Israel, Sunday, Oct. 22, 2023. David Caroll was killed at kibbutz Beeri by Hamas militants on Saturday, Oct. 7, as they carried out an unprecedented, multi-front attack that killed over 1,000 Israelis.
“We are refugees in our own country,” said Nir Shani, a 46-year-old physical therapist, whose five family members have shared two rooms at the hotel for the last two weeks, waiting for word on Amit, Shani's 16-year-old son held hostage in the Gaza Strip. “We have no home to return to.” Some evacuees from southern cities have opted to stay in their homes. Be’eri refugees did not have a choice. Still, in some ways they are fortunate: The community has stayed together, even as space in Israel's hotels grows scant.
Dar, who spent a week at the hotel, said conducting normal therapy sessions is a luxury the volunteer team cannot afford. There’s no time to get to know clients. Instead, the goal is to get people out of their rooms and to help them talk through their trauma. “We’re trying to point out parts of their stories that reveal their inner strength, give them hope,” he said.
“It was really nice. You name it, we had it,” said King. “But then reality sets in. People are crying everywhere. We can’t even do our own laundry. And we have nowhere to go.” “He’s a boy. He is not a warrior. He was in his room, in his bed. And he was taken from his room and from his bed,” Shani said. “It’s a crime against humanity.”
