Where’s The Lancet on Sderot Trauma?

July 11, 2011 10:56 by

Thanks to years of Palestinian rockets and mortars, 70 percent of Sderot’s children suffer from trauma of one form or another, while 23 percent of the city’s residents are on medication to fight depression, anxiety or sleeplessness.

Someone could write a book about Sderot’s ongoing battle for public health and well-being, but you wont read about any of these issues in The Lancet. Sderot just doesn’t fit in with the medical magazine’s annual bash-Israel agenda.
