IDF soldier Orel Azuri undergoing Rehabiliation at Sheba

321 wounded in terror attacks: Long rehabilitation and nightmares that won't end

07-03-2016

Hundreds of Israelis have been wounded over the past five months of terror attacks, many of them still recovering from their injuries.

 

Four months ago, a terrorist sped into a bus stop near Kibbutz Gan Shmuel, ramming into 21-year-old IDF soldier Orel Azuri. As she was lying on the ground, the terrorist ran over her again.

 

Orel spent 13 days unconscious at the intensive-care unit at the Sheba Medical Center in Tel Hashomer. Doctors fought for her life for days, until they won the battle, but the road to recovery is still long.

"I want to go back to being like other girls my age - go out, dance, and have fun. It'll take me a while, but I believe it will happen," said Orel.

 

She has spent the past few months at Sheba's Rehabilitation Center. "My leg still hurts and I'm expected to remain in the hospital for quite some time for rehabilitation.
