Ynet’s People of Israel conference, a panel of local leaders and professionals called for urgent government support and bureaucratic freedom to help restore the nation’s physical, emotional and communal resilience.
The discussion, moderated by Ynet’s Alexandra Lukash, brought together Ido Sharir, CEO of Reuth Rehabilitation Hospital; Liat Shochat, mayor of Or Yehuda; Karen Tal, director-general of the Amal Educational Network; and Yaron Ohayon, head of the land development division at KKL-JNF.
Sharir described how his hospital responded in the immediate aftermath of October 7 by expanding services despite limited resources. “We’re doing the best we can with what we have…The need was already huge before the war Now it’s dramatic. We’re not talking about short-term treatment but a mission that will be with us for many years”.
