The objectives of our study were to assess the exposure of three groups of Ethiopian refugees to stressful and traumatic events at three time points: pre-, peri- and post-migration to Israel. The consequences of exposure to cumulative traumatic events such as posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) were examined at all three time points and in each group. In addition losses during migration and complicated grief were examined in each group. We found significant differences between the groups in exposure and PTSD symptoms. While the three groups did not differ in grief reactions, significant differences were found between those who lost first-degree relatives and those who lost second-degree relatives, in Complicated Grief Reactions. The results are discussed in light of the unique characteristics of the cumulative trauma and traumatic losses among Ethiopian refugees.
