Mayor of Be’er Sheva Yaakov Turner said that all of the city’s resources will be at the disposal of Sderot residents seeking shelter in Be’er Sheva. 
 
In particular, the city’s welfare and education systems, as well as Be’er Sheva’s community centers will be open to assist the Sderot residents.

The Sderot municipality, in conjunction with the Ministry of Defense, has begun evacuating those Sderot residents who have expressed interest in leaving the area due to the ongoing Kassam rocket attacks.
