Tags: Israel news, terror 

Following recent terror attacks on the Taj Hotel, Trident-Oberoi and the Chabad Jewish Center in India's financial capital of Mumbai, in which over 163 people were killed, Israeli organization IsraAID sent a team of post trauma experts to the region over the weekend.

The team was sent in order to train local professionals on providing support for the victims of the terror attacks. Israeli expertise on how to deal with trauma, especially trauma brought on by terror attacks, is renowned globally.

The Israeli team will partner with the Jaslok Hospital and Research Center's Trauma Counseling Unit in Mumbai, which will use Israeli expertise on how to provide post trauma treatment to families and victims of terror.

The IsraAID team will provide treatment training at the hospital, and guide teachers at local schools on how to provide their students with direct support.

In addition, the team will offer its assistance to foreigners and Jewish and Israeli personnel who were on the ground during the attack.

This program is a partnership of IsraAID, American Jewish Committee and the Jewish Federation of Greater Toronto, on behalf of Israel and the Jewish people.
