Ukrainians who fled their country for Israel find themselves reliving their trauma as the war in Israel intensifies. More than 45,000 Ukrainians sought refuge in Israel since Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022. Many had been slowly rebuilding their lives when the conflict in Israel erupted. The war has intensified feelings of isolation and hopelessness among the Ukrainian community in Israel, with support groups moving online and in-person gatherings restricted. Some Ukrainians have been forced to move within Israel, while others remain trapped in Gaza. Mental health experts warn of the risk of depression and anxiety for those who have not fully recovered from previous trauma.
