The ongoing conflict in Gaza has taken a devastating toll on the mental health of children in the region, with an estimated 1.1 million kids in need of psychological and social support. Many children have lost the ability to speak due to the trauma they have experienced, while others are struggling with physical injuries such as head trauma or brain damage.
According to a report by Arab Media, some children are experiencing symptoms of “psychological muteness,” where they suddenly stop speaking altogether. This is a worrying trend, as it is often a sign of severe trauma and stress. The hospitals in Gaza are seeing an increase in cases of children suffering from psychological trauma, with many of them requiring long-term treatment and a safe environment to recover.
The situation in Gaza is particularly dire, with the constant bombardment and lack of access to basic necessities making it difficult for children to cope with the trauma they are experiencing. Experts say that the prolonged conflict, exposure to violent imagery, and loss of loved ones can have a profound impact on a child’s mental health, leading to a condition known as “fight or flight” mode.
In this state, children may become withdrawn, stop speaking, and lose interest in activities they once enjoyed. The Palestinian Ministry of Health has reported that two Palestinians have been killed in the past 24 hours due to Israeli military attacks.
While some experts believe that small steps such as play and relaxation activities can help children recover from trauma, the underlying issue remains the need for peace and safety in the region. Unless this is achieved, it will be difficult for children to return to a normal life.
