By The ongoing conflict in G@za has had a devastating impact on the mental health of children in the region.
A recent study by the Community Training Centre for Crisis Management (CTCCM), supported by War Child, revealed that 96% of children feel that death is imminent, while 49% have expressed a desire to die.
These alarming statistics underscore the severe psychological distress and trauma faced by G@za’s youth due to unrelenting violence, displacement, and loss of stability.
The cumulative impact of these factors threatens their mental well-being and long-term development. Efforts by international organizations, such as War Child, aim to provide critical mental health and psychosocial support, reaching over 180,000 people, including 118,000 children.
However, the scale of the crisis presents immense challenges. There is an urgent need for a ceasefire to enable unrestricted humanitarian aid and scale up mental health interventions, as addressing this widespread trauma is crucial for the survival and future of G@za’s children.
