Israeli Military Wounds Reach 30,000 in Three Years
The article discusses the scope and development of the Israeli wounded crisis resulting from the ongoing Gaza war since October 2023. The Rehabilitation Department has received approximately 30,000 wounded individuals over the past three years, bringing the total number of injured to around 91,200 people. Psychological injuries constitute the largest segment, with 63% of the wounded—about 18,900 individuals—suffering from mental health disorders caused by trauma and war. The Rehabilitation Administration anticipates that the number of injured will reach approximately 100,000 by 2028, with a significant focus on those with intellectual disabilities and post-traumatic stress disorder. In efforts to address the crisis, the Ministry of Defense has begun recommending the transformation of the Rehabilitation Department into a national authority, including reforms such as appointing a coordinator for each wounded person and streamlining disability recognition procedures. The department's budget has increased by 88%, reaching 10 billion shekels, with over 60% allocated to psychological treatment. Support services have also been expanded, including mobile emergency teams and assistance dogs, to improve care for the injured amid rising pressures on the rehabilitation system.
