Ukrainian families who fled their country to seek refuge in Israel after the Russian invasion no longer know where to turn as they face violence again, this time in their host country.
“It’s like a second round. “We already experienced this last year,” complained Ukrainian Ahuva Rosilio, mother of four, as the Belgian media 7sur7 reported on Wednesday. Is this the beginning or the worst? Should I go while I can? Where should we go this time? This is my home, I won’t leave!”
Although she fears Hamas terrorist attacks, the mother, who fled the Ukrainian city of Odessa during the siege by Russian forces last year, has no plans to move this time.
“I left a war behind me – all my possessions, my entire life – to start over, where I thought it would be best for my children, in the safest place, in Jerusalem, my home,” he said. – She continued: “ New York Post”.
The same applies to Viktoria Druzhenko, a Ukrainian refugee from the Boutcha region who chose to stay in Israel despite a bitter memory.
“We are tired of running away from war. “I would rather be useful here than flee,” she said, according to Belgian media.
Ukrainian Malki Bukiet and her nine children managed to find a sense of “peace and security” in their home in the city of Ashkelon when rocket fire hit their house, shattering the windows and roof.
“But we are still alive […] [Les enfants] were already traumatized because they had to leave everything behind […] And it took time for them to process the trauma, complained the mother, whom US media met at an animal shelter on Tuesday. Some are even more frightened – they flinch at every noise. They’ve been through so much.”
