In a centre that hosts and cares for unaccompanied children , he saw two cousins, aged six and four. Their entire respective families were killed in the first half of December. The four-year-old girl – in particular – was still in shock.© UNICEF/Eyad El Baba

Children’s mental health is severely impacted. Symptoms include extremely high levels of persistent anxiety, loss of appetite, and an inability to sleep, They have emotional outbursts, or panic every time they hear the bombings.© UNRWA
Before this war, more than 500,000 children were already in need of Mental Health and Psychosocial support in the Gaza Strip. Today, it is estimated that more than one million children are in need of such help.© UNICEF/Eyad alBaba
“Not a single child, whatever the religion, the nationality, the language, the race, should ever be exposed to the level of violence seen on the 7th of October, or to the level of violence that we have witnessed since then”.
