Please help support to my friend temporarily housed in Eilat, having escaped the Kibbutz Nir OZ tragedy when Hamas Terrorists attacked.

My friend Simon Baum moved from the UK years ago to make a new life for himself in Israel with his parents already living there. He made a new life for himself, build it, met his wife and started a family.

On the 7th of October 2023 all this was destroyed when he and his family on Kibbutz Nir Oz were caught up in what would was Israel's worst loss of life in one day since the holocaust. Simon and Vicky their children Eden and Lior, witnessed a tragedy none of us can imagine and were incredibly lucky, and they escaped with their lives to Eilat with the help of the Israeli Army.

The KIbbutz, Their home was reduced to ashes and rubble. They have nothing left but the clothes on their backs and their telephone.

The most Simon could tell me was ;

"We had something like 300 terrorists running riot on the Kibbutz. They were killing, burning and kidnapping young, old and elderly, stealing and destroying everything they could get their hand on. Physically we are ok but the mental pain will be with us always."

His brother Corin, living in Israel further away said ;

"My brother Simon, his wife Vicky and my nephews Lior and Eden lived on Kibbutz Nior Oz. On 7/10 they went through a devastating experience when terrorists from Hamas broke through the fences next to the Gaza border and started killing people, burning houses, cars, destroying the entire Kibbutz, taking hostages to Gaza including women, children, babies, the elderly. Thank god, they (Simon and his family) are safe now but so many on the Kibbutz were not so lucky, murdered or taken hostage.

I can't imagine how they are feeling or what they are going through but my heart goes out to all the people left from the Kibbutz and the rest of the Israelis who have lost someone. Please help the these people rebuild their lives and their home."

If you can't give, please share post.
