Despite the announcement from the Home Front Command and the grants - most residents of Sderot are still afraid to return to the city. "I'm still scared, every beep or movement of the door I jump," shared Madeleine, a resident.

"There are still strong explosions, how can you live like this?" said Broria Dadon, who has been staying in a hotel in Jerusalem for several months. "The city is still empty, it hasn't returned to normal yet," said one evacuee.
