How does a child live under siege?
Series: Entire Generations Under the Shadow of Trauma
A closer look at childhood in Gaza and the deep psychological impact of genocide
This series looks at the huge losses that children in Gaza face. Years of blockade, repeated wars, and ongoing structural violence have left an entire generation deeply affected. Tens of thousands of children were killed and many more have lost their parents, their homes, and their sense of safety, many are the only survivors of their families.
We don’t yet know the full impact on these children as they grow up. How will living through so much trauma shape their minds, their sense of who they are, and their futures? What does “safety” or “family” mean to a child who has never felt it?
Through this series, we hope to explore these questions, raise awareness, and show the urgent need for psychological support for children whose childhoods have been stolen.
What can we learn from these children’s lives? And how will the world respond to an entire generation growing up under the shadow of genocide?
