Twenty-three days ago, the unimaginable happened in Sderot.  The security fence was breeched.  Innocent men, woman, children, babies and the elderly were slaughtered in cold blood. Hamas terrorists roamed the streets of Sderot and shot and killed everyone they saw. That wasn\u2019t enough.  They broke into houses, and at point blank range killed husbands in front of their wives and children, killed children in front of their parents and kidnapped others as their loved ones looked on in horror.<\/span><\/p>\n

Twenty-three days later, many residents of Sderot have fled the city for fear of their lives; taking little or nothing with them. Some went to hotels on their own money, others waited for the city to put in place help for them to leave and some have chosen to stay in Sderot.  My wife and I fall into the group of those who have chosen to stay.<\/span><\/p>\n

The majority of the stores and shops are closed in Sderot, leaving only three markets open a few hours a day; and the pharmacy as well. Public transportation is nonexistent, but if you have a car you can come and go as you please. All gas stations are closed save one, and they only take credit cards.<\/span><\/p>\n
