Three years into the war, the government has not allocated a budget for post-trauma care for wounded IDF soldiers and security personnel, according to an Israeli media report. Responsibility is being shifted between ministries as veterans' organizations warn of a worsening crisis.
An Israeli media report published Saturday afternoon states that three years into the war, the government has failed to allocate a budget for implementing post-trauma care for wounded IDF soldiers and security personnel. Responsibility is being shifted between ministries, while veterans' organizations warn of an increasingly dire situation for tens of thousands of wounded. As The Zioneer reported earlier Saturday, no budget has been allocated for the broader IDF rehabilitation committee recommendations either, with ministries blaming each other. The current report specifically highlights the lack of funding for post-traumatic stress disorder treatment, a distinct category within the rehabilitation crisis.
