Traumas of war on children in Gaza

in #for10 months ago



The war left negative psychological effects on children in Palestine who lost their loved ones and were exposed to painful events of body parts, images of destruction around them, hearing the sounds of explosions, and the deliberate annihilation carried out by the Israeli occupation forces against the Palestinian people, which exposes them to trauma and threatens their psychological security.

​It may be difficult to recover quickly and erase the memory of traumatic events, and may lead to the emergence of psychological and behavioral disorders in children who have lived through the experience of war. Some effects may later appear on children, including bedwetting, severe anxiety, intense fear, and loss of attention and concentration, which affects achievement in education.

Some people may think that it is easier for children to forget war experiences than adults, but in reality, children suffer for a long time from conjuring up painful images in their minds and controlling psychological matters that affect the psychological effects that war has on children. Magical therapy is effective in treating some cases. Children who have lived through war, and specialists may use some anti-stress medications after trauma

I have read and seen testimonials from children in this war. IT is truly horrible. Particularly struck me was the story of 2 children and their father hiding in a secure room in their house when Gazans threw grenades inside to kill them. Only one child survived and saw her brother and father dying from wounds in front of her.

Yes, there are many stories that affect children in Gaza
