An organization called Lev Bateach (Safe Heart) is currently assisting approximately 1,000 survivors of the October 7th music festivals and their families, aiming to reduce the risk of post-traumatic stress. The CEO, Efrat Atun, expressed hope that the need for such services would diminish over time.
Despite the passage of nearly three years since the events of October 7, 2023, the exact number of survivors from festivals like Nova, Mashroom, Psy-Dak, and the Midburn setup team remains unclear. Atun stated that the number fluctuates, estimating it to be between 3,700 and 4,000, though recent verification led to a revised figure of 3,700 after identifying individuals who had falsely claimed survivor status.
