On Wednesday, the UN Security Council held its periodic hearing on the Middle East. In her capacity as president of the Security Council for December, US Ambassador Kelly Craft invited Adele Raemer, a resident of Kibbutz Nirim near Gaza, to address the council. This is the first time an Israeli from the south will speak to the Security Council.
In her address, Ms. Raemer asked the council: Have you ever had to run for your life? When I hear the Red Alert early warning system for incoming rockets, I know that I have between 5-10 seconds to get to someplace safe regardless of where I am in my little kibbutz house. If I am out, I either throw myself down next to a wall or just lie down wherever I am, cover my head and hope that whatever falls doesnt fall too close. During the 11 rounds of escalated rocket fire that we have had in the past year and a half, there were numerous alerts every single day. 1,800 rockets were launched at our communities during this period. What would any of you do if this number of projectiles was launched over your border?
Raemer added that during 2014s Operation Protective Edge, a rocket destroyed her bedroom, and she was saved only because she sought refuge in her homes protected safe room.
Addressing Hamas tunnel network, she called it sinister and frightening, built with a complex infrastructure for communications and electricity that was developed solely for purposes of death. Can you imagine how our children feel when they know that terrorists could come bursting through a tunnel under our community at any time? The rate of people seeking psychological aid in our region has risen 231% in the past five years
over half have been children.
