An initial assessment conducted in ‪#‎Gaza‬ shows that children’s behaviour changed considerably as a result of psychosocial distress during the 50-day armed conflict this summer.
Children say they are afraid to travel far from home to attend school.
Aggressive behaviour, anger and frustration are common among boys, while girls suffer from unusual crying, screaming, bedwetting, nightmares and general sadness.
Nearly 400,000 children suffer from psychosocial distress and are in need of immediate support in Gaza.
To help children cope with distress, UNICEF and partners have provided more than 5,000 with direct psychosocial support activities across Gaza. Another 70,000 have been provided with psychosocial recreational activities.
Much more is needed to help these children recover. Please support UNICEF and Gaza’s children by donating
