The Safe Heart Association, established in the wake of the October 7th attacks, is currently assisting approximately 1,000 survivors of the music festivals attacked that day, along with their families. The organization's CEO, Efrat Atun, stated that the initial goal of care providers was to reduce the risk of post-traumatic stress among survivors within five weeks of the attacks. Atun noted that the exact number of survivors from events like the Nova, Masher, Psy-Dack, and Midburn festivals remains unclear, estimating it to be between 3,700 and 4,000, though recent adjustments have brought the figure closer to 3,700 due to individuals falsely claiming survivor status.
"We all hope the need will decrease and diminish," Atun added, expressing a desire for the association's services to become less necessary over time.
