This translates to approximately 3 million Israeli adults being affected, including 580,000 experiencing severe symptoms.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"664\" data-end=\"714\"><strong data-start=\"668\" data-end=\"712\">Healthcare System Failing to Meet Demand<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"715\" data-end=\"1062\">The report emphasized that the main issue is not just the high number of affected individuals but also the Israeli healthcare system\u2019s inability to provide adequate treatment. Around 900,000 people who reported experiencing these symptoms have not sought treatment, primarily due to long waiting times of up to 6.5 months for psychological care.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1064\" data-end=\"1186\">Such delays mean that many affected individuals risk worsening conditions, increasing long-term health and social risks.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4978\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4978\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4978 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/The-Israeli-planes-targeted-settlers-cars-on-October-7th-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\": Israel Faces Mental Health Crisis After October 7\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/The-Israeli-planes-targeted-settlers-cars-on-October-7th-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/The-Israeli-planes-targeted-settlers-cars-on-October-7th-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/The-Israeli-planes-targeted-settlers-cars-on-October-7th-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/The-Israeli-planes-targeted-settlers-cars-on-October-7th-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/The-Israeli-planes-targeted-settlers-cars-on-October-7th-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/The-Israeli-planes-targeted-settlers-cars-on-October-7th.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4978\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">October 7th<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 data-start=\"1188\" data-end=\"1237\"><strong data-start=\"1192\" data-end=\"1235\">Systemic Failures in Mental Health Care<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1238\" data-end=\"1546\">The comptroller\u2019s report harshly criticized Israel\u2019s healthcare system, stating that the government has failed to adequately address the psychological crisis. Despite urgent needs, only 11% of those evacuated from areas near Gaza received any form of mental health care in the six months following the war.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1548\" data-end=\"1590\"><strong data-start=\"1552\" data-end=\"1588\">Children Among the Most Affected<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1591\" data-end=\"1838\">Children were particularly vulnerable, with the report revealing that 10,500 children were evacuated from Sderot. However, only 4% of them received psychological care, despite 39% of parents reporting high levels of anxiety among their children.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1840\" data-end=\"1884\"><strong data-start=\"1844\" data-end=\"1882\">Neglect of Nova Festival Survivors<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1885\" data-end=\"2101\">Most survivors of the Nova music festival suffered severe psychological distress, yet only 24% of those who needed treatment received and completed it, highlighting a major gap in Israel\u2019s mental healthcare system.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2103\" data-end=\"2494\">The report also criticized Israel\u2019s Ministry of Health and health insurance funds for failing to proactively reach out to survivors and make sufficient efforts to locate or assess their mental health conditions. Additionally, it pointed out that the ministry was unprepared for a crisis of this magnitude, despite prior large-scale evacuation scenarios that should have prompted readiness.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"2496\" data-end=\"2555\"><strong data-start=\"2500\" data-end=\"2553\">Economic Consequences of the Mental Health Crisis<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2556\" data-end=\"2862\">The mental health crisis not only affects individuals and their families but also poses a significant threat to Israel\u2019s economy. The report warned that untreated psychological conditions could lead to chronic mental health disorders, impacting individuals&#8217; ability to work and contribute to the economy.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2864\" data-end=\"3131\">This crisis could place a heavy financial burden on Israel, increasing pressure on national insurance pensions and social welfare systems. The report stressed the need for urgent government intervention to mitigate these negative effects on society and the economy.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5815\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5815\" style=\"width: 768px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5815 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/deal.jpg\" alt=\"A report by Israel\u2019s State Comptroller exposes a severe mental health crisis following the October 7 attacks, with 3 million Israelis\" width=\"768\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/deal.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/deal-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/deal-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/deal-450x300.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5815\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Israel mental health crisis<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 data-start=\"3133\" data-end=\"3169\"><strong data-start=\"3137\" data-end=\"3167\">Call for Government Action<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"3170\" data-end=\"3503\">In conclusion, the State Comptroller urged the Israeli government to adopt a comprehensive, long-term plan to address the mental health crisis resulting from the October 7 attacks and the &#8220;Swords of Iron&#8221; war. He also emphasized the need for sufficient budget allocations to improve mental health services and reduce waiting times.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3505\" data-end=\"3700\" data-is-last-node=\"\">The report underscored that Israel has a &#8220;moral obligation to care for those suffering from mental trauma, especially victims of hostilities, and to help them reintegrate into their daily lives.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Watan-The Israeli State Comptroller, Matanyahu Englman, released a report on Tuesday highlighting serious health and psychological crises in Israel following the events of October 7, 2023.
