ERAN, a mental health charity in Israel that provides emergency emotional support, reports a significant increase in inquiries related to conflict-induced anxiety.

ERAN's psychological assistance center offers support in five languages, working in collaboration with the Ministry of Absorption and Immigration. They emphasize that their services are anonymous and available 24/7 for anyone experiencing mental distress.

In recent days, Magen David Adom has reported that their emergency teams have treated numerous individuals suffering from anxiety linked to rocket sirens and attacks from Hezbollah in northern Israel. As tensions at the border with Hezbollah have escalated, hundreds of rockets have been launched into northern Israel.
