Sderot has long been on the front lines but the last Hamas attack was something utterly different, and residents want the situation to change.
By Loveday Morris, The Washington PostIsraelis are evacuated Sunday from the southern town of Sderot, near Israel's border with Gaza.
But this time things are different. Border communities are still reeling from the Hamas-led assault that killed 1,400 Israelis, and now amid the trauma, there is an unwillingness to return to the status quo. Thousands who did not flee in the initial attack have been ferried out like Ben Haim and his family to hotels on the Dead Sea and other parts of Israel.
Malka Stein, a nurse from Rescuers Without Borders, arrives at the home of Rachel Dahan, 85, in Sderot. Like many in this town, she was a die-hard supporter of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, but now she curses at his name. Veronica Odarchuk from Ukraine and Samuel Korf from Russia work at an emergency aid center that was set up in Sderot on Monday. “I think Ukraine might be safer right now,” she said, as she prepared to go out on a distribution run.
