How has the conflict in Gaza affected children?

In Gaza, half of the 1 million displaced people are children, many of whom have become separated from their families during Israeli bombardments. These children are often left stranded or placed in damaged shelters without guardians, creating a crisis of vulnerable youth without protection. The ongoing conflict has created an entire generation of traumatized children who have been stripped of their basic safety and security. As they flee with their families through dangerous conditions, many become separated in the chaos, leaving them alone and vulnerable in an already devastating humanitarian situation.
