Gaza children’s unprecedented mental health crisis

On World Children’s Day, powerful testimonies from Gaza reveal the deep trauma young people are facing after more than two years of war. This year, children are marking the day amid destruction, displacement, and ongoing hardship.

According to the United Nations, over 90% of children in Gaza are now showing signs of severe stress and aggressive behavior, driven by the loss of safety and stability. Humanitarian workers warn that the road to recovery will require long-term, sustained support to help children heal from the psychological impact of the conflict.
