What impact has the war had on children in Gaza?
The war has created an overwhelming orphan crisis in Gaza, with statistics indicating more than 30,000 children have been orphaned, including 4,700 who have lost both parents and are the only survivors of their families. These children face severe mental health challenges after witnessing violence and losing family members. Many of these traumatized children urgently need mental health support to address depression, anxiety, and even suicidal thoughts. Their psychological wounds require immediate attention alongside their physical needs, highlighting the devastating humanitarian impact of the conflict on Gaza's most vulnerable population.
