Translation of Messages from farmers
"Moshav Yavul is okay, they're evacuating us, some farmers, adults and Thailand workers are remaining. The situation is very difficult. We lost dozens of friends and family members.
We're trying hard to stay strong"
Translation from another farmer
"The situation in the Moshav is not good we are two days without electricity, there are no workers, there are terrorists everywhere, we can't leave the bomb shelter, the situation in the Western Negev is the worst, children have been kidnapped, many are dead, including farmers, the situation is not good"
