In Gaza, schools and health facilities have been damaged, homes and offices have been flattened, and entire families have been displaced.

according to the statistics, 1 in 3 children in Gaza already required support for conflict-related trauma. But the need for mental health and psychosocial support services for children has undoubtedly only grown.
