Gaza Border Moshav Launches Wellness Initiative to Address Health Issues Post-Trauma
Residents of Netiv HaAsara, a moshav near the Gaza border, are participating in a wellness project aimed at addressing health issues stemming from prolonged trauma. The initiative, led by Ichilov Well, offers comprehensive medical screenings and wellness workshops to help residents manage conditions like skin problems, diabetes, and high blood pressure. The project emerged from the need to address both mental and physical health following the community's return after a period of conflict. Residents undergo various health tests and receive personalized health plans, including recommendations on nutrition and mental well-being. The initiative also includes workshops on breathing, sleep, and mind-body practices, aiming to prevent chronic health issues by addressing them early.
