Help Children Suffering From PTSD in Gaza
26 April 2022
The United Nations calls Gaza as “hell on earth” for children.
A study conducted in 2020, before the last year’s conflict, found that 53.5 per cent of children in Gaza were suffering from PTSD. Nearly 90 percent had experienced personal trauma.
Gazans' life experiences underscore the unique emotional challenges they face living under constant occupation and frequent conflict. A study released this summer says 9 out of 10 children in Gaza suffer from some form of conflict-related trauma.
