Sderot

Sderot is the only city in a western democracy today to experience daily rocket fire for the past 8 years.

Sderot

No other city in the 21st century has undergone what the residents of Sderot and the Western Negev face on a day to day basis: rockets attacks, red alerts, and the psychological trauma which results with each attack

Sderot

Since the disengagement in August 2005, over 7,000 rockets have been launched from Gaza to Sderot and the Western Negev. In total, over 10,000 Palestinian missiles have been fired at Sderot and the western Negev since 2001.

Close to 600 Israelis have been injured and tens killed in the region.

Sderot

Because our media center is located in Sderot the staff, actually experience the devastation and shock of these rocket attacks along with the residents here.

Sderot

The Sderot Media Center aims to convey this dangerous situation to the international and Israeli community through media documentation and investigative journalism.

In addition, our movie productions, photo exhibits, and arts projects, are placing Sderot in the forefront of social awareness and concern.
