Surviving the Unthinkable

A Firsthand Account of the Kibbutz Nirim Attack (October 7, 2023)

In the quiet of Kibbutz Nirim, on the fateful day of October 7, 2023, the world as Camille from the Philippines and her 95-year-old Israeli charge knew it was forever altered. As a dedicated caregiver, Camille’s life was entwined with her elderly ward, and together, they would become the sole witnesses and survivors of a harrowing Hamas attack.

Their remarkable story is a testament to resilience and the unbreakable bonds that can form in the face of unimaginable adversity. This is the story of Camille and the indomitable spirit of two survivors who faced the unimaginable together.
